Stress Free Kids Partners with Borders to Free the Kids

Online, November 17, 2009 (Newswire.com) - ATLANTA, November 17, 2009 - Imagine relaxing with a gentle octopus or breathing with playful sea otters. This is the world that mother and author Lori Lite has created for children. It's an unthreatening world where stories and engaging characters teach children how to manage stress and believe in themselves. She's created a simple, effective solution for a world where 13 out of every 100 children experience anxiety disorders.

Lori Lite is the founder of Stress Free Kids - a line of children's books, CDs, and curriculums to help children manage anxiety, stress, and anger while promoting self-esteem and peaceful sleep. Realizing that the stress reduction techniques she was using herself could also be very beneficial to her children, Lori's breakthrough came after recognizing that kids could learn adult-oriented stress management and self-esteem exercises like controlled breathing, muscular relaxation and affirmations-if those techniques were presented within the framework of a bedtime story.

Lori's books include Angry Octopus, Affirmation Weaver and Indigo Ocean Dreams CD, and fresh off her appearance on Shark Tank, has landed three of her "anti-stress" children's books and CDs at bookseller Borders. This nationwide placement of her books, she hopes, will help children and families across the country learn to cope with stress, anxiety, and anger in healthy and effective ways, without resorting to medication.

Her Angry Octopus book practices progressive muscular relaxation by untangling its knotted tentacles. Her "I can do it" Dolphin will have your children believing in themselves in no time, using positive statements to build their self-esteem.

The whimsical nature of Lori Lite's books provides an accessible avenue for helping kids deal with some very real problems. In addition to the anxiety epidemic affecting the nation's youngsters, 76% of parents are unsatisfied with their child's sleep habits, and 69% of parents report sleep-related problems in their children. 76% of school-aged children say they worry. Lori believes that "we can change those numbers by empowering parents and children with research-based techniques that improve sleep."

Lori Lite's Stress Free Kids range of books and CDs address all of these issues. Her books are also used by Psychologists, Teachers, Therapists and Doctors around the country to deal with child anxiety and stress issues, as well as her Children's Wellness Curriculum and Stress Awareness Curriculum for educators and parents.
