Parents!
Thanks for Coming by!

Hi, I'm Tony Hanes the Author of Baboo Says.

Baboo is a creation that I came up with to teach kids
how to find their own power. The book has a lot of
references to Magic, but this isn't hocus-pocus type
stuff, its just the description used to explain the
wonders of the universe in a way that kids can
understand. Baboo is of course a young Genie, and
what better way to teach Magic?

Kids learn more in school than ever before. Now kids
have the Internet, crazy television programing, and are
just swamped with information. A lot of that information
is good of course, but a lot of it isn't. While all this is
going on, it seems somehow we have made all this
information the primary focus for our kids.

It's no secret that kids who grow up in a healthy family
environment have happier lives. It's also no secret that
kids who grow up in more challenging environments
tend to repeat those pattens. Ultimately the only
difference is how each one "THINKS". This process
should be instilled in all kids, by parents and by society.

Before we all received our Drivers Licence, we had a
year of training before we were let loose on the road.
Yet when we left High School we were thrown out into
the world with all the facts we had learned, but we were
never taught how to think. How did we learn how to
think? By watching our parents, by watching other
people on TV. What we really learned were habitual
reactions to situations.

Most people leave School with their emotions of Fear
and Loneliness being in control of what they think. It
may take a person years to finally figure out that
"WHAT" a person thinks is actually the culprit of Fear
and Loneliness; something they should have known
before they came to be out on their own.

In short Baboo Says is my attempt to start a revolution
of sorts with our kids. To teach kids how to be happy.
All the facts in the world will  not make a kid happy or
fruitful in life. Its only when they have a better
understanding of their place in the world and the power
they have inside. Really that is a process that comes
naturally to kids, until their minds get saturated with
tons of information.

Baboo is of course a Magical Kid Genie, who better to
learn from? In Baboo Says he talks about what dreams
are all about, he shows kids how to deal with the
crossing over of a loved one, he show kids what a close
relationship they have with their own bodies and how
what they think can affect it. But most importantly he
shows kids how powerful thoughts are.

When I was around 30 years old, I wondered why I was
always depressed. I blamed that on a lot of things until
one day I realized the truth. I was always THINKING of
depressing things, ha ha. The truth was, the past had
absolutely no bearing on what I choose to think of now.
Another 5 years later, I began to discover I could
change my own thoughts. Later I discovered that after I
changed the way I look at things, the things I looked at
changed. This was a process that took me decades to
figure out on my own. Something I should have known
before I was a teenager.

So I may be a little biased I admit, but I do recommend
Baboo Says to every kid you know, and even adults.
And please, help to spread the message.
    "Baboo Says may be the best book my son and daughter have
    ever read. I can't    believe how the author was able to nail
    down a kids perspective on life and show them how to pay
    attention to whats really important. As a matter of fact it
    really reminded me of when I was a kid and how I used to
    think. Baboo teaches kids how to keep that part of themselves
    that we have somehow completely forgotten about. I'm still
    not sure how he does it, but Baboo gives the key to
    happiness."  -Climent Bacon

Cognitive Selection;
state of mind where one      
chooses to think
thoughts that create a sense
of well being.
Cognitive Selection is an example
of the lack of training that our kids
have. I actually had to invent a
word to describe this state of mind
 "Cognitive Selection".

The premise here is that no
matter how educated a kid is, or
how much money a kid has
access too, or how great their
childhood is, if they are not
groomed to learn how to remain in
a state of Cognitive Selection,
then ultimately they can not be
happy.

More than that, no matter how
tragic a childhood may be there is
great power in learning how to
choose thoughts of well being.
Thoughts have been proven to
affect the body and
circumstances of a persons
experience of life.

A persons mind is the most
powerful tool they will ever have
access too. It is the most powerful
tool on the planet. Of course
society knows that and places a
huge priority on education. But an
education without Cognitive
Selection will only create an
intelligent person; An intelligent
person who fails in relationships,
who has no personal satisfaction
in work or creative expression. An
intelligent person who lacks
accountability and most of all, a
state of mind that does not
respect life or being alive.

So Baboo and myself really want
you to think about how much
influence you have on your kids.
How they think is ultimately the
most important thing you can
teach them.
In  it's simplest terms a
persons mood is their life; its
how they feel emotionally
even physically. Its their
outlook on change and the
future. A persons mood at any
given time is at that time their
whole life, its everything.

A persons mood is always a
reaction of what they choose
to think about. If they choose
to worry, to see the negative
in things then obviously their
mood will be negative.
Worrying is simply looking for
something negative to
believe in!

The thing about kids is they
learn how to think from
watching others. They will see
a specific situation and notice
how most people get angry.
Eventually that is exactly how
they too will react. Reminds
me of wildebeests who are
jumping over each other to
get across the crocodile
infested river.

We want our kids to size up a
situation and react from
choice, not from monkey see
monkey do.  Honestly in every
situation where they see
others become angry or sad,
the person whom they are
watching is only acting like
the wildebeest and never
exercised Cognitive Selection.
Just email me and request
to recieve it, and thats IT!
