        Helping Children With Feelings

        A set of 10 stories about feelings with 10 accompanying guide books

        by Margot Sunderland and Nicky Armstrong

        These 10 beautifully-illustrated storybooks along with 10 practical guidebooks, (20 books in total), enable teachers, parents and professionals to help children aged 4-12 connect with unresolved feelings affecting their behaviour.

Titles included in the set are: Helping Children of Troubled Parents and Monica Plum's Horrid Problem. Helping Children Locked in Rage and Hate and How Hattie Hated Kindness. Helping Children Pursue Their Hopes and Dreams and A Pea Called Mildred. Helping Children Who Are Anxious or Obsessional and Willy and the Wobbly. Helping Children Who Bottle Up Their Feelings and A Nifflenoo Called Nevermind. Helping Children Who Have Hardened Their Hearts or Become Bullies and A Wibble Called Bipley. Helping Childen Who Yearn for Someone They Love and The Frog Who Longed for The Moon to Smile. Helping Children With Fear and Teenie Weenie in a Too Big World. Helping Children With Loss and The Day The Sea Went Out and Never Came Back. Helping Children With Low Self-Esteem and Ruby and the Rubbish Bin.

        The Snit and George Franklin Whit

        by Overbey, Taylor

        George Franklin Whit was having a Snit so bad he became one! What will he do when he breaks his favorite toy? Follow him through his house as his anger boils out of control. When children are very angry, they don’t realize how damaging their tantrums are to themselves and others around them. This well illustrated book shows that they have a choice of going into a ‘Snit’ or showing their anger in healthy ways. Since verbalizing anger is difficult to learn, the included Snit-O-Meter is a handy tool for them to visually show their anger level and helps create a dialogue to resolve the situation.

        Dysfferent

        by Fanny Vandermeersch

        What a strange idea to call a child Charlemagne! Without this strange name, Charly is sure that he would be a child like any other... except for a few adjectives. He is said to be too distracted, dissipated, dispersed... to the great displeasure of the adults around him. And that often makes him the mockery of his classmates. Charlemagne is dyslexic, dysorthographic and dyspraxic. But who said that multi-dys children were good for nothing? Maybe it's a chance to be different!

        by Claire Gratias

        Why did 16-year-old Manon, who has a reputation for exemplary behavior, run away from her house one June evening? Why did her mother wait so long before reporting her missing? Why hasn't her best friend Salome heard from her? And why doesn't Valentin want to reveal how far he has agreed to go in the name of love for Manon? If everyone shared what they knew, perhaps we would finally unravel the mystery of this strange disappearance and a young girl who just dreamed of being completely free to be herself.

        Just a Small Town

        A small town that could be anywhere: industry is in decline, streets are in decay, many have left, while those left behind take short-term joy in drugs. Four young people are among the left behind. Alex consumes heroin to escape his abusive father. Jim hides from guilt after the death of the friend he didn’t save. Chelsi’s brother killed a local boy, and ostracism pushes her towards a rival gang, prostitution and loneliness. Danny is a hustler but needs protection from the drug gang that supplies him. Can any of them survive the addiction, gang life, isolation and manipulation? Their small town could be anywhere.

        Tanze ins Licht

        Reisen zu inneren Kraftquellen

        by Birgit Baader

        Ein praktisches Handbuch für Kinder, Erzieher, Eltern, Therapeuten - für alle, die mit Kindern zusammen sind und sich für sie interessieren.Die Meditationen in diesem Buch sind inspiriert durch die ursprüngliche Kraft der Natur. Tierreich und Pflanzenreich, das Volk der Vögel und der Meeresbewohner, die uralten Farne und viele andere Baumfreunde, aber auch die verschiedenen Elemente - die Kinder des Feuers, Wassers, Windes -, die Mineralien und viele mehr schenkten ihnen ihr mauri (Lebenskraft) und ihr wairua (spirituelle Kraft). Studien zufolge verweilen Kleinkinder lange Zeit-spannen in einem meditativen Alphazustand – wenn man sie lässt. In unserer heute oft hekti-schen und reizüberfluteten Alltagswelt ist es wichtig, kontemplative (Frei-) Räume zu schaffen. Zeiten der Meditation, in der wir die Balance zwischen äußeren Anforderungen und innerer seelischer Kraft wiederherstellen können, sind eine Voraussetzung für ein ausgeglichenes, selbst-bestimmtes Leben.    Teilen Sie dieses wesentliche "Werkzeug" mit Ihren Kindern, Schülern, Patienten... und gehen Sie selbst auf die Reise zu inneren Kraftquellen.
