Social Behaviour (includes boundaries)

Abstract

Young children learn that everybody cries, how crying can help them, and ways they can cope with challenging feelings.

"You cry when you're sad or mad. Crying gets the hurt out." Tears Are Not Forever reassures children that everybody cries and gives them space to cry and experience their "down" feelings.

Sadness and disappointment are common, recurring emotions that children can learn to understand, handle, and grow from. With vivid illustrations and straightforward suggestions, Tears Are Not Forever provides practical advice for coping with these challenging feelings. "Remember, tears are not forever. In a little while, you'll feel better."

A section for adults reinforces the book's message that crying is a natural, normal response to strong feelings and includes tips and activities to help children express and handle their feelings.

In this addition to the best-selling Best Behavior series, children will learn how to avoid boredom and replace whining words with waiting words: "This will be worth the wait!"

A section for adults includes tips and activities to foster patience in children.

Social Behaviour (includes boundaries)

Abstract

Knowing when your personal boundaries are violated - and what to do about it when they are - isn't a simple skill. It requires a surprising amount of self-awareness that only a firm sense of your own value and limits can provide.

If you feel like you have trouble saying no to others, at work or at home, or if you feel your life being squandered by good but unintentional activities and relationships, this book can help you establish more effective boundaries. The authors explain the differences between boundaries and walls, explore a variety of boundary problems, and help you assess your own boundaries and make necessary adjustments. Throughout, they teach you how to view yourself as a treasure to be protected, so that you can learn how to enjoy a life of evolving authenticity.

We Say What's Okay

Subject

Social Behaviour (includes boundaries)

Abstract

Body awareness is a key foundation of consent. We Listen to Our Bodies gives children a vocabulary to understand and communicate their feelings, develop personal boundaries, and build their social and emotional skills.

Through body awareness and recognizing how emotions physically manifest, young children can listen to their bodies for clues about how they?re feeling. Their bodies might feel shaky when worried or like one big sigh when calm and relaxed. By recognizing that physical sensations are trying to communicate something, children can understand when they feel unsafe, calm, or in need of healthy touch.

We Listen to Our Bodies follows Deja and her preschool classmates as they learn to build emotional self-awareness by listening to the physical cues of their bodies. Using the book as a read-aloud, educators and families can model the language Deja?s teachers use to support children as they learn body awareness. The author, who hosts workshops and trainings on teaching consent for families and early childhood educators around the country, offers additional activities in the back of the book.
