Nigel's Nightmare

Ben Furman

The first installment in the acclaimed Ratkaisutarinoita (Solution Stories) series, this empowering children's book uses a solution-focused approach to help kids deal with fears and recurring nightmares. The story follows a young boy plagued by a persistent nightmare about a scary monster. Instead of simply comforting him, his parents actively use a creative method to help him "tame" the dream. By rewriting the story of the nightmare together, the boy gains a profound sense of mastery and courage over his nighttime fears.

Beyond its engaging narrative, the book serves as an invaluable resource for caregivers. It concludes with practical, step-by-step advice from psychiatrist Ben Furman for parents and educators on how to help children overcome their own nighttime anxieties using these exact principles. As a cornerstone of a globally recognized children's series, this practical picture book has reached families across Europe, with editions successfully published in Swedish, Dutch, German, Czech, Romanian, and Finnish.
