Rating: 4/5 || Recenzia pe Secretele Cărților
Cum să îți adomi copilul cu ușurință
De-a lungul timpului, cărțile au început și ele să se diversifice în idei și scopuri. Una dintre cărțile despre care vreau să vă discut astăzi este Elefănțelul care voia să adoarmă, o carte care are un background psihologic. Autorul Carl-Johan Forssen Ehrlin, cel care a scris și Iepurașul care voia să adoarmă, a reușit să creeze încă o carte al cărui scop este de a-i adormi pe copii (și cu puțin noroc și pe adulți).
Cartea conține o poveste foarte frumoasă, al cărui protagonist este un elefănțel simpatic care nu își găsește somnul. În plimbarea lui dintr-un loc în altul, întâlnește o serie de alte personaje care îl îndeamnă, rând pe rând, la somn.
Secretul stă în tonul vocii
Cartea este concepută într-un mod foarte interesant, așa că cititorul, în funcție de înclinația scrisului sau de textul special regăsit între paranteze, își va adapta tonul vocii, și chiar va imita căscatul. În unele momente, adultul va introduce și numele copilului în cadrul textului, pentru a-l apropia și mai mult de poveste. Toate acestea sunt menite pentru a-i transmite copilului diverse senzații care să îl conducă spre somn.
Mie mi s-a părut o carte foarte bine pusă cap la cap, și chiar am căscat și eu de câteva ori (cu toate că nu am citit povestea cu voce tare). Povestea în sine a fost simpatică și liniștitoare, și mi-a făcut mare plăcere să fac cunoștință cu elefănțelul. ^_^

Reflections and lessons learned:
“…she’s starting to feel tired now. She wants you to walk with her to her bed on the other side of the magical forest…”
I always trying and take a notable quote from a book for myself as a reminder (something that won’t ruin the book for other people though). The above quote is probably about 10 words in to a 30 minute narrative!! It took me several attempts to get through at least one of these, and I love the fact that it’s two voices - lovely magical stuff, not just for kids looking for a good rest

Čudujem sa, že zatiaľ nikto pred týmto autorom neprišiel s nápadom spracovať relaxačnú techniku v podobe knihy pre deti. Podľa mňa je to vydarené - a treba si uvedomiť, že príbeh je tu druhoradý ;-) Výhodou jej monotónny hlas, ani sa nemusíte snažiť "vžiť" sa do čítania.
Práve odskúšané na 2,5-ročnej - tá zaspala už pri 3. strane...5-ročnú lámalo statočne, ešte chcela vedieť, čo bude ďalej, ale v troch štvrtinách to tiež vzdala :-D

It's like guided meditation for little ones but comes off almost a little ominous. Pleading and heavy handed. Personally I wouldn't use it for my children because it's almost hypnotic and I feel like attempting to hypnotise children is probably a bad thing developmentally wise? I don't know.

Antroji Carl-Johan Forssen Ehrlin knygelė vaikams, turinti migdantį poveikį. Labai panašaus pobūdžio, netgi tas pats triušelis Rodžeris trumpam pasirodo. Yra pažymėtos vietos kur galima tarti savo vaiko vardą, todėl pasakėlė gali būti suasmeninta. Istorija ne tiek įdomi, kiek pats jos poveikis sukelti mieguistumą. Patiko autoriaus patarimai knygos gale.

A fost o carte [căscat] adormicioasă
February 10, 2017
This was a very interesting book to read. I am currently pregnant and reading books to my bump, so I can't speak for how effective this book is in its purpose of helping to get children to fall asleep, but I can imagine that, read properly, it would be an excellent tool. It seems to use a hypnotic effect to achieve its intention, inviting the reader to emphasize certain phrases, speak softly at other points, and even yawn. I also thought it was interesting that it was told in a second-person narrative. Overall, from a psychological standpoint, I found this book intriguing. The illustrations were adorable but, per the book's mission, not bright and engaging, so that if your audience does look at the pictures while you are reading, they won't be overly stimulated by them. I am definitely interested in revisiting this book in the future and trying it out on my little one someday!

I was battling my 3 yr old trying to get her to sleep. I wish I could say this book worked for her but it just didn't. However, my 9 yr old actually wanted me to read this to him. I was surprisingly shocked, after all he is into minecraft and spooky things. He said he wanted to see if the book could put him to sleep. Guess what?!? It did! I was totally shocked! When you have a bouncing 3 year old who can't concentrate long enough to even lay down I don't see this book helping. I'm going to keep this on my shelf and see if in a few months it will work. I loved the illustrations! Very whimsy and soft colors made for peaceful images to fall asleep with quickly.

Overlong narrative story that actually attempts to teach techniques for falling asleep. For me , the teaching of techniques by embedding them in the story made the story seem secondary and less engaging for a young child.

These books are so wordy they just make me want to fall asleep, not my kids.

Once again, Carl-Johan Forssén Ehrlin is providing a variation on the hypnotism that he provided in "The Rabbit Who Wants to Fall Asleep."
Although he describes himself as:
* A "behavioral scientist with a bachelor's degree in psychology"
* A teacher at a Swedish university. (Unnamed.)
* A life coach
* A leadership trainer.
GUESS WHAT?
Among his many specialties, what's conspiculously lacking? Professional hypnotist.
Not surprising, really, since neither I nor any other professional hypnotists I know... would ever-ever-ever inflict a book like "The Little Elephant" on children.
Below I'm going to adapt some cautions toward the end of my review of his "Little Rabbit" book, plus some comments that developed there.
WHY THIS HYPNOSIS BOOK IS A BAD IDEA
Suppose that Parent Carl wanted his child Johan to sleep better, and therefore paid for a session for Johan to be helped by a professional hypnotist. After interviewing Johan, that hypnotist would design help for sleep and make Johan a recording to use at night.
No doubt the professional hypnotist would also speak to Parent Carl and give him some sensible precautions f0r avoiding unintended consequences.
SUGGESTIBLE CHILDREN CAN SUFFER UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
Why is that?
Suppose that Johan and his family live in an apartment building with thin walls.
If he met with a professional hypnotist, Parent Carl would be cautioned to not play that recording at a time when fighting or violent TV shows could be heard in Johan's bedroom... because, in hypnosis, Johan would be highly suggestible and, thus, he'd be influenced strongly by anything he happened to accidentally hear while in hypnosis.
PARENTS, IF YOU WANT HYPNOTISM FOR YOUR CHILD, PAY FOR A SESSION
Going to a good, local, professional hypnotist would be the best use of hypnosis, imo.
It won't cost much more than a good haircut for women, these days.
ANOHER RESOURCE FOR DO-IT-YOURSELF
Another thing parents might do is to teach their child how to do Progressive Relaxation. (Not messing with a kid's mind, this is instead a useful skill to learn for help with falling asleep.)
SOMETHING ELSE TO THINK ABOUT, GOODREADERS
Did you ever watch TV late at night and see a ton of dopey, crude, commercials? I used to think, "How could this work? The TV rates must just be dirt cheap at this hour."
But after I became a professional hypnotist, I understood. Couch potatoes, especially those watching late at night, fall into light hypnosis, which makes them VERY SUGGESTIBLE.

Meine Meinung:
Mich hat die wunderschöne Gestaltung des Buches sofort angesprochen. Auch die Idee, der Einschlafhilfe hat mich sofort neugierig gemacht. Jedoch hat mich die Umsetzung nicht gänzlich überzeugt. Das Kind wird in die Geschichte eingebunden und begibt sich mit dem Elefant Ellen auf die Reise durch den Schlafwald. Durch ständige Erwähnungen der Müdigkeit, gähnen usw. soll beim Kind die Schläfrigkeit hervorgerufen werden. Allerdings war mir das etwas zuviel und zu übertrieben. Wenn ich seitenlang nur vorlese, wie müde das Kind ist und in der Geschichte einfach nichts passiert, finde ich es zu langweilig. Ich hätte mir dann doch etwas mehr Geschichte gewünscht. Es mag auch Kinder geben, die durchaus dadurch einschlafen. Aber eine normale Schlafgeschichte oder unser gemeinsames Schlaflied haben da einen besseren Effekt. Somit kann ich hier lediglich die wundervollen Bilder positiv bewerten, da die Zeichnungen von dem kleinen Elefanten Ellen und den Tieren, denen sie begegnet, äußerst liebevoll und gelungen sind.
Cover:
Das Cover ist zauberhaft und wunderschön gemalt. Genauso schön sind auch alle anderen Bilder im Buch.
Fazit:
Eine Geschichte, die mich nicht überzeugen konnte, weil sie mir zu hypnotisch ist. Die Bilder sind aber sehr liebevoll gezeichnet.

Very sweet story about any elephant wanting to fall asleep and wants to take her little friend (the child) with her on a journey through the magic forest to her bed by the beach. Not written as a traditional story, so it might not be for everyone, but it has lovely calm pictures, which are nice to look at.
Got it as a Christmas present for our little ones. The older (2-y-o) absolutely loves it and always wants me to read it for her before she goes to sleep. She doesn't always fall asleep with it (tho she has done that often), but it relaxes her and makes it easier to get her to go to bed. I really want to get the other two stories in this series, but they are quite hard to get here.

Проблеми с приспиването на децата? Може би разрешението ще се окаже една малка, симпатична книжка от издателство „Хермес”! „Слончето, което иска да заспи” на шведския психолог Карл-Йохан Ерлин вплита в приказката похвати, които помагат на детето да се успокои и отпусне щом стане време за лягане.

So, I'm an elementary librarian and I will not be adding this book to my collection. Unless you have a parent section, this is not really a book for the school library. It's intended for a parent to read to a child at bedtime to promote sleepiness. Kinda weird, I think, but I gave it three stars because if that's what you're looking for, it might be a good choice.

The book is beautiful and really works. It’s like a guided meditation for kids that relaxes them while reading to them.

mulle meeldis see traktoriga variant rohkem. ei tea, kas oli tõlge imelik või see pidigi nii imelik olema, aga elevandiraamatus ei suutnud minu meelest ükski tegelane ühtegi koherentset lauset kuuldavale tuua. ma arvan, et kui ma oleks laps, siis ma lihtsalt keelduks Uimase Hiire sõnavõttu lõpuni kuulamast, lahkuksin voodist ja võibolla üldse kodust :)

Wow, what a beautiful and unique book! I haven't tested its efficacy, but I really love the author's notes and how it is written. I'll definitely be getting a copy for my home library, just for use whenever I have a little visitor (or resident) who needs to go to sleep. :)
Also, endless fangirling over Sydney Hanson's illustrations.

Hypnotize your night owl. Both this and the little rabbit version are must haves for bedtime. My son who always wants to "stay up all night" and can read through several bedtime books without so much as a yawn falls asleep before we hit halfway. So relaxing, almost hypnotic and meditative. Couldn't recommend more highly

Fandt den ved et tilfælde på Bookmate og lyttede til den sammen med min datter. Den virkede i hvert fald, for vi faldt begge i søvn inden den var slut.
Vi har forgængeren, men det var meget rart at få læst op til godnatlæsning ;-)

Bedtime story? I don’t think so
This book wasn’t what I thought it would be. It was so boring. I didn’t know what to do or think when I finished this book. I thought it was a bedtime story. Luckily I borrowed this from my library, because if I purchased it, I would be so upset.

Jos teillä on univaikeuksia (minulla niitä ei nyt ole), suosittelen tätä kuunneltavaksenne. Nukahdin kesken sadun ja jatkoin taas kuuntelua. Äsken heräsin huomatakseni, että kirja oli päättynyt. Lukijan ääni on omiaan nukuttamaan jo alkumetreillä. Tarinalla sinällään ei oikeastaan ole väliä.
