Books with author Sherry Blair

Growing up is not easy and many times, children and teens are introduced to ways to deal with stress or their feelings after there already is a problem. But, what if we taught them at a young age, as a prevention, to deal with stress, manage their emotions in a healthy way and deal with peer pressure? And if they are already struggling with stress, peer pressure, negative relationships and school issues, Change It Up From Negative to Positive will offer them ways to do just that--CHANGE IT UP to lead them toward success in their lives.Based on the Nurtured Heart Approach® which is driven by the power of Three Stands™--how NOT to give our energy to unhealthy negativity whether that is negative behavior, thoughts or unhealthy emotions; how to create more success and positivity in our lives; and lastly, how to understand what our limits and boundaries are and when we don't have limits and boundaries, we understand the negative consequences of our choices. On the flip side, when we move toward creating more success and positivity in our lives, we are rewarded with positive outcomes and healthy relationships.Change It Up From Negative to Positive supports the positive psychology and cognitive research that illuminates how more positivity and rational thinking in our lives leads to greater happiness, success and overall well-being. Teens and even tweens can learn how to broaden and build their internal resources (psychologically, emotionally, socially, intellectually, and even physically) which we call Inner Wealth™. This book includes clear-cut strategies and success stories of other teens to demonstrate exactly how the strategies work when put into practice. It also fulfills a dream that the author, Sherry Blair, has to change the world for the better and believes that we need to teach children and teens these concepts at a younger age, to be proactive rather than reactive. In turn, we can prepare them for the road ahead because they can learn how to Change It Up From Negative to Positive and they can choose how to lead positive change in their lives at any turn. Join us to change it for a better day! We look forward to hearing your success stories!

Byron Bear loves candy! He is tired of hunting for berries and nuts in the forest. Though his friend Gus tries to talk him out of this crazy idea, Byron joins a group of children trick-or-treating. The children think Byron's costume is terrific and name him Boo after he tries to speak with a mouthful of bubble gum. One of the children in the group, Kate, who dressed like a clown, invites Boo over to her house for hot chocolate and pie. Byron learns that Kate's mom is deaf and, therefore, all the conversations between she and Kate are in sign language. At the end of the evening, Kate tells Boo that she realizes he is not a boy but rather a bear when she can find no zipper on the back of his costume. They part as friends and promise to get together again next Halloween. Maybe even Gus will join them!
