Description

Uncover the profound lesson of 'The Tree of Goodness,' a timeless rhyming bedtime story designed to help children ages 3 to 8 grow their self-belief and recognize their inherent goodness.
This beautiful story asks the simple yet profound question: What makes a tree good? Children explore this concept through the many aspects of a tree’s nature, learning a valuable lesson about their own self-worth and inner beauty.

How 'The Tree of Goodness' Helps You Support Your Children:

Self-Belief and Confidence: Through the story’s exploration of a tree’s goodness, you can help your child build a strong sense of self-belief and confidence. The narrative reinforces that they are good just as they are, fostering a healthy self-esteem.
Emotional Awareness: The story’s gentle questioning approach encourages children to think deeply about their own qualities and virtues, promoting emotional awareness and self-reflection.
Positive Affirmation: By illustrating that goodness is inherent and does not depend on external factors, you can teach your child the importance of self-acceptance and positive affirmation.
Calming Bedtime Routine: The included Goodness Stretch at the end of the story helps children relax their bodies and minds, creating a calming bedtime routine that promotes restful sleep.
Executive Function: Reading this story together helps your kids develop the executive function skills of organization, prioritization and metacognition.

Key Features:

Snuggle Breathing Meditation: Start each story with this simple breathing exercise to help you and your child calm down and connect, setting a peaceful tone for storytime.
Heartfelt Characters: The tree’s journey and its exploration of inherent goodness will inspire and empower your child, helping them feel confident and valued.
Activity Pages: Use these interactive pages to engage in meaningful conversations with your child, deepening the core lessons of the story and enhancing your bonding experience.

“A wonderful story that reminds us of the inherent goodness within ourselves and the natural world.”
— Dr. Vanessa Lapointe, R. Psych. & Author
