No! No, nap! Zander doesn't want to take a nap. He wants to keep playing and doesn't understand why he can't. When he throws his toys in anger, Mom sends him to time-out. But then, a wonderful thing happens. A team of spiritual beings called guides appears to help Zander figure out his problem. With their gentle guidance, he discovers how taking a nap is good for him and how he can say, "I'm sorry," to Mom and Dad. Special Note to Parents Spirit guides may comprise angels, relatives, or even close friends who have departed. Everyone is assigned a spiritual team at birth. They guide us and help us solve problems. They are NOT ghosts and will NEVER do harm. Young children, with their natural curiosity and acceptance of the world around them, can often see their guides and departed loved ones, even those whom the children have never met on Earth. Pam recommends parents stay open, not be fearful, and encourage their children to talk about their experiences. Ask them questions. Many children, when asked, may describe who they see, give names, or even point to a picture. Remaining open allows them to share their experiences with you. It is normal for children to see and hear Spirit. Pam Sears has spent years studying and communicating with spirit guides.
