A Book of Spells for Dangerous Times - by Jill Benson Am & Shaun Prentice (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Real magic for children. Real skills for families. ✨

The world can feel big, confusing, and sometimes even dangerous - especially for children. A Book of Spells for Dangerous Times gives kids playful "spells" they can use to calm worries, feel braver, and connect with the people they love. And on the flip side of each spell, caregivers will find the science-based skills that make the magic work.

With beautifully illustrated Australian animals guiding the way, this book turns proven psychological strategies into enchanting rituals that children can understand, remember, and enjoy.

Inside you'll discover:

���� Spells for kids - from the Magic Button Spell for feeling close to someone far away, to the Laughing Spell that turns worry into joy, to the Sleeping Spell that helps little ones rest peacefully.

���� Skills for adults - clear explanations of the evidence-based psychology behind each spell, with guidance on how to use them to support children's emotional wellbeing.

���� Connection-building rituals that families can return to again and again, creating resilience and strengthening bonds in stressful times.

Grounded in decades of medical practice, mental health research, and cultural wisdom, A Book of Spells for Dangerous Times is more than a storybook - it's a family resource. Parents, grandparents, and caregivers will find practical strategies disguised as magic, so that children not only feel safe, but also learn lifelong skills for managing emotions, building resilience, and thriving in a changing world.

Whether your child is anxious, having trouble at school, or just needs a little extra magic at bedtime, this book will help you both find comfort, courage, and joy - together.
