A child can adopt the positive behaviors expressed in the stories through the actions of their central characters, and Joy Stories™ strives to do that through eight separate stories in which a bird, a sea turtle, a dolphin, a horse, a dog, a frog, a cat and a squirrel are each used to model the behaviors that are vital in building self-esteem. As children listen to the stories, they identify with the characters' experiences and learn that by trusting and believing in themselves, they, too, can accomplish anything they are truly determined to do. Supported by positive messages that are based on sound research and the principles of confidence building, these stories available on CD are voiced in the author's own voice over soft, soothing, original background music, are found to be especially effective at bedtime as they help to lull a child off into a deep, restful sleep.
