Stoney the Pony's Most Inspiring Year 2020 Edition: Teaching Children About Addiction Through Metaphor Linda Myers

Stoney the Pony can't stop eating peppermint candies. When Stoney becomes addicted to the sweets, his friends are concerned about the changes they see in him. He's no longer the same Stoney the Pony everyone knows and loves. Stoney was once a beloved neighborhood favorite who helped children win blue ribbons at the shows. Now he has become so preoccupied with the peppermint candies that he sneaks out one night to steal the treats from the horses in a neighboring barn. When his pals realize how sick Stoney has gotten, they step up and intervene to find him the help, and support he needs. The 2020 version of Stoney the Pony's Most INSPIRING Year is a complete workbook! In addition to an engaging story, the book contains Points for Parents, Questions for Discussion, Coloring Pages, along with five suggestions to turn coloring into a therapeutic activity. "Linda Myers has indeed offered the best in this book as she takes children on a journey. Linda describes how one can travel from 'want to need' in the addiction process and puts it in terms for the appropriate age group. The guidance she suggests to parents and significant others is priceless." (Lois Schwed, M. Ed.)
