Imagine a Rainbow: A Child's Guide for Soothing Pain

by Brendan S Miles PhD, Nicole Wong

When a child is in pain, imagining scenes that are soothing or uplifting may help reduce the discomfort. "Imagine a Rainbow" is a beautiful tool for introducing children to the idea of using their imaginations to cope with pain, whether by itself or as part of a more comprehensive pain management plan. The book also includes an extensive Note to Parents that explains the techniques of imagery and deep breathing, and how to help children use them.
