Empower Your Child: The Pathway to Magic Memories opens a door for children so they can reach their potential through personal growth and awareness. Just as animals emit positive messages, so do children. Before the prejudices and harmful influences of the world can reach young minds, children can be empowered to stand up for themselves and to fight injustice. The tenets of this book were reached after 66 years of living. Author Maureen Ann Folland has drawn on life experiences to try to guide others past the obstacles she faced in childhood. Folland came from an abusive, violent and alcoholic family, which resulted in low self-esteem. She found that using affirmations, even though they are conceptual ways of changing one's thinking, helped her enormously. Maureen Ann Folland was a Jack of all trades and in the work force at age 14. She was a sales assistant, psychiatric nurse, receptionist, person Friday, sales representative, rebirther, numerologist and masseuse. The author travelled the world on and off for 23 years. She became a single parent at the tender age of 40 with a child who had serious learning difficulties, so affirmations have helped. A serious meditator and vegetarian for 33 years, she is now retired and living in Adelaide, South Australia. Publisher's website: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/EmpowerYourChild.html
