Social-emotional learning book that has won my hea

Social-emotional learning book that has won my heart. 📚💛 This book by @lelise_counselor is perfection! SEL skills are more important than they have ever been and this is such a great way to open up a discussion about using coping skills in a fun unique way. Meet David, the little boy in the story who is having a bad day and his big sister, Lily, who teaches him all about the skills she uses to cope. Lily goes through each coping skill with her brother:
⭐𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 to begin the healing.

🐴Be like a horse, take 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀.

🦁Think like a lion, Recall your unique strengths. Repeat 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

🐬𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲, play, and try your best to be brave like a Dolphin.

🐟Jiggle, wiggle, and 𝗴𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲 like a jellyfish.

🐨Grab a snack like a Koala, get cozy and 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁.

🐌Stop like a sloth, slow down and 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵.

🐈Just like a cat, 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘅 and practice 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲.

🐒Laugh like a chimp, 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸, share and be kind.

🌈Lily teaches her brother to think 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 and remember tomorrow will be a fresh start.

I am a total sucker for beautiful illustrations in a book and this book has gorgeous ones. I find it keeps kids more engaged. I love that the Author used a big sister to talk about these skills instead of a typical parent or teacher. I think kids will think it’s cooler to learn it from another kid instead of an adult. Using animals to teach coping skills was pure genius. I can see students really getting into each animal and maybe
picking their favorite one that they will use. That would be a fun follow-up activity for this book. This is a total must-have for your classroom or counseling library. I am SO happy to add it to mine.

It's #nationalblackcatday 🐈‍⬛ to raise awareness about the low adoption rates for black cats. My loving and toddler-tolerant black cat (Cheeto) would like to remind you that this time of year, many black cats decorate thresholds for Halloween. Old superstitions have given these furry cuties a bad reputation. They are just as loveable as any other cat breed. But unfortunately, according to PETA, black cats are fifty percent less likely to be adopted than tabby cats. Considering a cat? Why not help out a black cat find a loving home! We love ours but not as much as our toddlers do! 😆⁣

For now, I am surviving. I will worry about trying

For now, I am surviving. I will worry about trying to thrive another day in the future. Not today. Unpopular opinion but it's okay to just survive during hard times and lower the expectations you put on yourself. Worry about thriving when you are ready to. You don't have to be the perfect educator all the time. You can aspire to that and definitely the goal is to be thriving (hopefully in the future) but expecting that of yourself right now is too much. You can still be an amazing Teacher/Counselor/Mom/Sister/Friend/Coworker/Human 𝗔𝗡𝗗 cut yourself some slack.⁣

New favorite book alert 🎉 This book by @jenelle

New favorite book alert 🎉 This book by @jenellebooks is⁣ fantastic you guys! Using “I statements” is one of the most common strategies I use to teach kids conflict resolution skills. This book is such a great way to open up a discussion about using I messages. Meet Gabby, the little girl in the⁣
story who teaches us all about using I statements and how to be a problem solver. She encounters common kid conflict situations like a toy being taken from her, being called a mean name, and someone cutting in front of her in line. She uses the I statement:⁣
⁣
I feel (say how you feel) when you (describe what caused your feeling). Please (tell what you would like to happen). ⁣
⁣
She discovers the more she uses the “I statement” the more her confidence grows and the more comfortable she is⁣ telling other kids how she feels.⁣
⁣
The illustrations in this are beautiful and I love the message of getting kids to be problem solvers and better communicators. This is a total must-have for parents, counselors, and teachers alike.⁣

Giveaway CLOSED! 🎉 Have you guys seen this new

Giveaway CLOSED! 🎉 Have you guys seen this new 15-minute focus series? It’s brief counseling techniques covering critical topics like Anxiety, Grief, Suicide, and Trauma. They are perfect for the on-the-go busy counselor who needs a quick refresh on a topic and helpful tips. ⁣
⁣
⭐Anxiety- I have a soft spot for anything written by a School⁣ Counselor because they just GET IT. The author quickly but effectively covers what anxiety looks like, different anxiety disorders, and my favorite the difference between anxiety and misbehavior. She also goes into detail about how⁣ each person can help in their different role, whether it be the counselor or administrator. There are intervention ideas throughout and ways to partner with parents to help students with anxiety. I also love the resources she provides⁣ at the end with different websites and books.⁣
⁣
⭐Grief-This book was also written by an educator, a teacher⁣ with 44 years of experience. The thing about grief is it feels like no one ever knows what to say and we worry we might say the wrong thing. This book covers what NOT to say and helps to find the right words. It also considers the child’s⁣ age and developmental level of understanding. I really appreciated the section that covers myths about children and grief. There are a few classroom activities that are suggested as well. It specifically talks about how to handle the sudden death of a student, helping a student grieve the death of a sibling, handling an anticipated death, and suicide. I really benefited from the ways of coping and forming a support group section. ⁣
