Denyse Beaudet – Dreamguider: Open the Door to Your Child’s Dreams
The Dreams of Children – you can find out more at this site, but first watch the video below!
In this inspirational video interview on Talking Purpose, Michelle and Denyse discuss how children sleep, interpretation for children, nightmares and how to use them to help your children.
Michelle asks
I’ve often wondered how to best help my child when she’s having nightmares – and what can I do when she won’t wake up. Does this mean she’s got disturbing things in her mind? What should I do when she is sleepwalking? or has a very restless night? Is there a way to guide her and at what age should be start interpreting them?
You’ll be surprised at some of Denyse’s answers!

This was a fascinating interview. I thought it was particulary interesting that you should ask a child to share the dream, instead of just comforting them and telling them “It is only a dream.”
The validation is a new thought.
It also reminded me of something I had forgotten.
I had terrible nightmares as a child until I was a teenager. I could not stay over at a girlfriend’s house because of it.
I remember more of the experience as a small child. I would wake up running in circles in the living room until I fell down. And could not remember the dream.
The older nightmares were about trying to get someplace and I
could not find it. I still have these once in a while.
HMMMMMMM .Wish I knew that brilliant woman then.
