Larry Marshall, Jr., LPC, has created a children’s storybook entitled, The Pig in Your Head,  to address the concept of delaying immediate gratification.  In the story, the pig symbolizes the pursuit of gluttony and greed with its excessive appetite, sending the message that chasing your wants all the time is not such a happy way to live.  Bill, the young boy and main character, soon realizes that he needs to manage this pig. The hope is that the concept of bossing the pig, who is in need of direction, will appeal to the child’s inner caretaker or parent.
