Taming the Tic Monster ... This is often how Lion sounds. More specifically: Lion's throat-clearing-winking monster often sounds like this. Unfortunately, it's always present, whether in class or at home. And when Lion is tense, the monster becomes particularly big and loud. Lion thinks he is the only one with such an unwelcome permanent guest ... until he meets Ella. She has a sniffle-sneeze monster and has even tamed it! She got tips from her monster whisperer, the psychotherapist: for example, blowing away tension, using imagination, talking about worries ... With this, Lion's monster quickly turns into a little creature. The book shows affected children that they don't have to be ashamed of their tics or Tourette syndrome. They are not alone in this. The book includes interactive pages with more tricks for taming monsters, and there are online resources for adults.
