Using vintage drawings and a technique called Fable Mod, this cognitive-behavioral story deals with teaching children how to complete their chores by employing positive self-talk to avoid negativism and procrastination. The story also models appropriate parental behavior. This work has been used by professional counselors and therapists for several years and was written by Licensed Mental Health Counselor and School Psychologist Terry L. Stawar, Ed D., the developer of the Fable Mod Method.
