The Captain Nemo Stories
by Ulrike Petermann
Even at a primary school age, children can suffer from anxiety and stress with symptoms ranging from feeling tense to problems concentrating or sleeping. The stories of Captain Nemo help children relax and learn to let go of their anxiety and restlessness. The relaxation stories, written for children ages 5-12, can be either read aloud to the child or by the children themselves. The main character, Captain Nemo, invites the children to come along for his adventures on his submarine the Nautilus. The stories take the children to visit a coral forest, ride a giant tortoise, or explore the lost city of Atlantis. Through the stories, the children learn strategies to calm themselves and relax which they can then re-use in difficult situations in their daily lives. This widely successful book can be used at home, by teachers, social workers, school psychologists, child and adolescentpsychotherapists, and psychiatrists.
