The achievement coach, Master NLP practitioner and Hypnotherapist Leigh Payne, has collaborated on a childrens’ book called the Wishmonsters. Written by her husband, Chris Payne, the book aims to address the topic of goal setting for children 10 years old and younger. When talking about where he got the inspiration, Chris says, “It started when my young daughter asked to read some of the personal development books I had in my library at home. I realised very few were suitable for children but the concepts within them were”. It’s true. Self-help books have remained popular due to the positive influences they can have on an individual’s life. There is a plethora of literature available to the adult marketplace but nothing tailored specifically for young readers.

Leigh has already developed a goal setting course around the Wishmonsters book that can be used by parents and groups alike to teach them the values of setting themselves aspirational targets. “Children are highly impressionable” says Leigh, “the Wishmonsters aims to teach them values and activities that they can carry forward with them through their lives”.

The Wishmonsters book and course will be published early in 2009. To reserve your copy, contact Leigh Payne or visit the website at www.thewishmonsters.com.
