300 Fun Activities That Bring Children Comfort and Joy
Barbara Sher

Imagine a book that you can take down from the shelf whenever your nerves are fried, your six-year-old is angrily pushing the toddler down the stairs, and your teen is holed up in his room with a broken heart. One book, small and unassuming, holds such a wealth of wisdom, with games/activities/rituals to cultivate joy and well-being, no matter what is happening. The first chapter offers ways to nurture your own spirit so that you can be present and more joyful in facing the day with your children. Then the spirit games begin, all to create more fun and smiles every day: ''doing a 360 circle'' together of appreciation, time races to handle resistance getting out the door, writing yourself letters to receive days later if you are blue, ''Mom Gone Nuts,'' and ''Finding the Grumpy Bug.''

One of my favorites is the ''Emergency Relief Box,'' filled with photos and memories of joyful times, to pull out on gloomy days. There are games/activities for healing sadness, anger, and fear, for building confidence and trust, and for learning compassion and new ways of responding to the situations life brings us. ''All shall be well'' is the wisdom woven into these pages, especially if you are having fun along the way! Best of all, these wise ways include toddlers to teens, so that this book will be a trusted and wise companion through all the growing-up years. I can't recommend it enough.

Canadian Shipping:
We ship Canadian orders via international surface or air. Payment must be in U.S. funds. The order recipient will be responsible for any duty/custom charges when the package arrives in Canada.

Orders under $100.00---our regular shipping rates
Orders over $101.00---13% of the subtotal

International Shipping:

We hope to offer you international ordering online soon. In the meantime, you may call 619-670-5200, fax 619-670-5203, or email us at customerservice@chinaberry.net with your order to find out what your shipping charge would be. If you are having your order shipped internationally, UPS requires that you include a phone number for them to contact for delivery information.

We ship international orders (except Canadian) via UPS International Air courier only. While this ensures your order will arrive very quickly (3-5 business days), it is also very expensive. (Shipping generally begins at about $50.00 for a one pound package and goes up with weight.)

As an affordable alternative, many of our international customers have their orders shipped to a friend or relative in the U.S who will forward the orders on to them.

If you are ordering by phone, please call our customer service line, 1-888-481-6744, between 6am and 6pm Pacific time.
