Book Love Alert 🚨 Have you ever read a book tha

Book Love Alert 🚨 Have you ever read a book that you felt was written just for you? That’s how I feel about this amazing book by @jennelle called ⚽ Preston’s Positive Thoughts, part of the I am a problem solver book series. It’s all about the power of positive thinking which is a topic I am passionate about teaching to kids.

Preston is having a rough day because of some negative thoughts. He thinks he is horrible at soccer when he’s at P.E. and then he makes a kick and misses the goal. In class, he thinks he’s not good at math during a quiz and is unable to finish because of these negative thoughts. Preston starts thinking about his thoughts and realizes every time he thought he couldn’t do something, he ended up struggling with it.
My thoughts affected my feelings,
And my feelings affected my actions.

Preston thought maybe he was not actually bad at these things, but his thoughts lead him to be bad at them. The next day, he did something different. During art class, the teacher explains a new activity and Preston starts to feel nervous about it. He says to himself “I am smart, and I can do hard things.” He ends up doing great. The same thing happens when he has a reading test, he thinks to himself “I am a good test taker” and ends up doing well. Preston learns that by changing his thoughts, he can change the outcome of his day.

💙Did I mention I love this book? The illustrations are beautiful and the message is one that can be used in every classroom and home. I will be reading it with my own kids and with my students.

🔗 If you are interested in checking it out, there is an affiliate link in my bio directly to amazon. Check out the author’s other books in the problem-solving series too, you will love them as I do.

My new fave fidget item that I bought for my child (but really for myself, let's keep it real!😉) This thing is just as fun as popping bubble wrap but its re-usable. It does have a slight pop sound so just fyi in case that would bug you in a classroom setting. Comes in all kinds of fun colors, add it to your calm down corner!

The one classroom lesson that I make sure to do every single year is on Safety. We use the Safer, Smarter Kids program by Lauren's Kids which is ⭐FREE⭐ for FL schools. Recently, they added a Blueprint for Building Safer, Smarter Families resource guide to help handle the increased reliance on digital devices during school closures. This is because 1 in 5 children who touch a digital device will be sexually solicited online, and as a Counselor and Mama that number is unacceptable. ⁣

Giveaway Time!🎉 This amazing new book by Jessic

Giveaway Time!🎉 This amazing new book by Jessica Sinarski @rileythebrave called“What’s inside your Backpack?” 🎒 is the perfect book to talk about carrying around worries and shame⁣
⁣
The story is about Zoey, who recently had a traumatic experience with an unsafe parent. There is a lot of change in Zoey's life, and she starts to worry. Her mom that “When we don’t know what to expect, worry wants us to imagine with fear.” She gives her a bookmark that reads “Imagine with hope” to help remind her that good things might happen. Zoey then meets her substitute teacher, who explains to her that she also carries around a worry “book” in her backpack too. She visits her SchoolCounselor and talks about: ⁣
⁣
❤Being brave and having courage ⁣
❤Getting rid of shame⁣
❤Checking the facts (an emotion regulation skill from DBT)⁣
❤Both/andConcept (there is room for multiple truths)⁣
⁣
This book really spoke to me, not just because there is a School Counselor in it (YAY!) but also the different concepts taught. I love the metaphors of the backpack (Zoey’s mind), books(worries), and bookmarks (coping skills). The author did a fantastic job showing how we can nurture resilience in kids, and help kids impacted by trauma. This is a must for everyone who works with kids!⁣

Spread 💗Kindness💗 online. The internet has a bad rap for being negative, but it can also be used for good. Here are some ways to spread kindness online:⁣
💟Like a post.⁣
💟Comment something positive.⁣
💟Resist the temptation to comment with negativity (will it really help anything?) just keep scrolling.⁣
💟Reach out to friends and family.⁣
💟Comfort someone who sounds like they are struggling.⁣
💟Don't attack someone for thinking differently than⁣
you (no one changes their views by being attacked online).⁣
💟Just say NO to public shaming. (try contacting the person in real life or in a private message instead of posting something that might make them feel bad in a public forum).⁣
💟Give someone a compliment.⁣
💟Tell someone they matter to you.⁣
⁣
Go on, spread a little online kindness today. The internet needs your kindness💖⁣
