The Mindful Magician and the Trip to Feelings Town
Tips and Tricks to Help the Youngest Readers Regulate their Emotions and Senses
Jessica Kingsley Publishers
Self-regulation helps children learn, behave well, get along with others and become independent, but it can be difficult as it involves children developing the ability to regulate their strong emotions, like frustration, excitement, anger, and anxiety and to manage their behaviour to enable them to act in positive ways. This is a wonderful book to help. I love these really fun but practical ideas to help a child who is feeling overwhelmed by their strong emotions - from the ‘touch your nose and clap your hands, the palm push to wiggle fists’ Lauren Brukner’s book gives children and parents the tools and strategies to help a child learn to manage their overwhelming feelings all through warm, responsive & practical support. Using these simple strategies, a younger child will learn these empowering ways to self-regulate and learn how to behave in new situations with less guidance from their caregiver.
I have always been a big fan of Lauren’s books, and suggest them to families all the time, so I was very excited to read an early version of this one. What a great book - to help our children to better understand their emotional and sensory experiences, and learn a range of self-regulation tools, through step-by-step instructions and beautiful illustrations. I highly recommend.
Who doesn’t want MAGIC to make life better?This author shows simple ways for children to be bosses of their reactions to intense situations.
They make it OK to be sensitive, fidgety, overwhelmed and show it’s just being yourself!
Most importantly, my 5-year-old grandson loved the stories.
Feelings are big things, and when you’re a littler person, those big feelings can get pretty overwhelming pretty fast. In her latest book, Lauren Brukner tackles those emotions and gives kids a great map to navigate their way to calm empowerment.
