Bibliotherapy

Besides the obvious enjoyment that comes from reading, books that share a counseling concern (bibliotherapy) can be cathartic for children and help them feel less alone when they read about a character going through something similar to them. Bibliotherapy is effective in promoting problem-solving, increasing compassion, developing empathetic understanding, and enhancing self-awareness.
