<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Uncle Lightfoot, Flip That Switch (Third Edition) is a book about a child who overcomes his fear of the dark through games taught to him by Uncle Lightfoot, a Creek Indian. Michael's family, a blind girl, and a dog play the games with him.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Is your child is afraid of the dark? Does your child cry, whine, crawl into your bed at night, or refuse to go to bed? If so, Uncle Lightfoot, Flip That Switch: Overcoming Fear of the Dark</em> may be just the book to help turn nighttime fears and tears into nighttime fun! Previous versions of Uncle Lightfoot have been tested at four universities and found to be helpful for children with nighttime fears. The artist has given the Third Edition a new look, with 86 out of 88 pages now in color! </p><p>Michael is afraid at night (e.g., darkness, monsters, noises, burglars, sleeping alone, nightmares). His friend, Jerome, calls him a "scaredy-cat." Uncle Lightfoot, a modern-day Creek Indian, is a retired teacher who knows games that can help overcome fear. Michael's parents, his brother, Tim, a young blind neighbor, Elizabeth, and even the farm dog, Lady, are willing to help Michael play the games! During the process of overcoming his fear, Michael also learns to create shadow animals, track animals, ride a horse, calm a goat, and rescue the dog from a cereal box attack! </p><p>The 88-page children's book contains short chapters (usually only three to five pages), 17 games or activities, and playful, often humorous illustrations. </p><p>Edition 3 represents a refinement of the earlier edition that received the Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) 2013 Seal of Merit Award. It is a lively, beautifully illustrated, entertaining book to help children, ages 4 to 8, deal with nighttime fears through a fictional story woven around fun family games. A 14-page Parent Guidebook is included in the Appendix.</p><p>Researchers in several studies have found clinically significant reduction in nighttime fears in children ages 4 to 8 who used earlier versions of the Uncle Lightfoot materials. Bedtime battles can exhaust fearful children AND their parents - and can interfere with a good night's sleep. Can overcoming nighttime fear be exciting and fun? Uncle Lightfoot, Flip That Switch</em> makes a convincing case that it can be. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"In this book for children who are afraid of the dark and their parents, Mary Coffman gives us a book that is not only engaging and fun to read but also based on the best principles of evidence-based practice. In a recent research program with nighttime fearful children and their parents, we were able to show that a majority of the children and their parents really liked the book, they enjoyed reading it, and they loved playing the games sprinkled throughout the book. And, they got better! Mary has hit a home run with this one. Parents and their fearful children will benefit from it and they will love it. Good on her!" Thomas H. Ollendick, University Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Virginia Tech, researcher and author or co-author/editor of numerous articles and books, including the just released book, Innovations in CBT for Childhood Anxiety, OCD, and PTSD: Improving Access and Outcomes</p><p>"Mary Coffman has given us a wonderful book that contains a story children love and includes an interwoven program to reduce fear of the dark. Both of these have been well-developed and proven over many years of research and field testing. Children enjoy the story and want to read it or have it read to them many times. They identify with the child in the story and want to do what he does, which leads to getting free from fear of the dark. Research studies have shown that most children who engage with this book and play the games will significantly reduce their fear of the dark. This is therapy that is fun, inexpensive, and really works. Plus, the children learn valuable skills they can apply in many other situations. The parent guidebook makes it easy and playful for parents to carry out the program successfully. In addition, parents learn important parenting skills that are helpful beyond just working with fears. Fear of the dark is very common and can lead to many other problems. Now we have an easy, enjoyable, and effective way to address this fear. Mary Coffman's book is a beautiful creation and a blessed gift to the world that will entertain, educate, and reduce suffering." William L. Mikulas, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of West Florida</p><br>
