Abstract

The book “I conquered my fears” was created as a result of the clinical experience of the author. It is a therapeutic tale, which is valid as a resource to be used by health workers and parents so as to help children overcome their fears at bedtime.

Because experience is important for an adult so as to better reflect on the theme, the book also includes an appendix to help accordingly.

The adult is invited to express what he/she likes to hear the most and the least, when waking from a sleepless night, and is also invited to dynamically interact with the book, give answers and create hypothesis, with no fear of making mistakes.

The parents, after reading the book, refer a better stress management capacity at critical moments experienced with the children at bedtime.
