Download: Can Handle Mindful Mantras Book eBook (ePub, KINDLE, PDF) + Audio Version

I got this hoping it would illustrate a bunch of useful, safe ways to handle stressful feelings for kids. For kids with a history of trauma, or mistrust of adults, or who had losses in early childhood and failed to get to develop healthy self-regulation by example and nurturing, it's a battle to learn healthy ways to manage strong emotion. This book has a lot of great suggestions- I liked almost every page. BUT- there is NO mention of consulting a caring parent as a way to be comforted or deal with feelings! I realize the publication is called I Could Handle It, but one of the main reasons we need parents (and other safe, caring adults) is because their stability and caring help soothe a kid, and model appropriate ways to calm down. We was surprised there was NO suggestion such as " I can look for a hug" There is one HARMFUL page: " I could cry myself to sleep" I almost cried when I read that- no child should have to deal with loss or grief alone, and then for children who have experienced damage or a history of trauma, how is that a healthy message? We can't use this publication to comfort or coach children who need support in finding ways to deal with strong negative emotions, because of that one page. I bought multiple copies, and can consider maybe tearing that page out. I liked the idea of the publication and much of the content, but am seeking something with a healthy message about turning to caring safe older people for appropriate support with anger/grief, and this one page undermines the positives, for me., This publication is such a good tool to help kids see there is always a means. Plus they loved it and laughed and felt sympathy all while reading it. This is particularly good for my L who struggles with anger and frustration and can't always wade through those feelings as easily as most children.

After he said " mom i somewhat really love it- can we read it again? " it has become a favorite. Between my 4yr old and seven yr old they can both relate to sebastion and I've seen my 4yr old have little light bulb instances making connections relatable to his life. It also helps label feelings and feelings and reinforces that there Will always be a solution regardless.
Every house and class and dayhome should have this book!, I chose a highly regarded rating because the book shows exactly how a child would think and feel. Kids will definetly relate to this and come away with a positive accomplishment!, Very good lesson for everyone...., Really like this- we make use of it to remind our little the one which even when things get tough, he can manage it. It helps him how to use the realms “you can handle this” when he’s having a moment., I like positive thinking and sayings, This guide came in handy.. my grandson ‘s school has introduced an identical curriculum this semester for the students, Brilliant. Simple and powerful book that is very empowering for young children. My 5 year old has taken for this immediately. I enthusiastically anticipate more additions to this series. Well done Ms. Wright.
