Ideal for feelings and character education units;Spanish, too!
The Way I Feel, The Way I Act, the Self-Calming Cards, and the Feeling Elf Cards are all approved for classroom use, and especially valuable in primary and special education classrooms when you're teaching emotional literacy, emotions vs. actions, and values. The Way I Feel is also available in Spanish as Así me siento yo, and both card decks are bilingual Spanish/English.

Squelch name-calling, teasing and bullying before it escalates
That's what teachers, counselors, caregivers and parents can do with books like My Name Is Not Dummy, Heidi's Irresistible Hat, and Bully on the Bus. These branching-path books let kids brainstorm and try out possible solutions.

Addressing peer pressure
With such branching-path books as Under Whose Influence, Making the Grade and Finders, Keepers, you can help kids realize they have choices when it comes to using liquor or drugs, cheating or stealing.

For kids who are grieving or deserted
25 Things to Do When Grandpa Passes Away, Mom and Dad Get Divorced, or the Dog Diesis used extensively with military families, to help children experiencing any kind of loss or grief---a parent's deployment, a family move, or homelessness as well as divorce or the death of a friend or family member. Where Is My Mommy? Coping When a Parent Leaves (And Doesn't Come Back) helps kids work through the anguish of a parent's disappearance.

Mudra Pocket Cards make stress-busting easy
Anxious? Angry? Excited? Kids and adults can soothe themselves in a minute or two (truly!) with the hand-yoga gestures, each one illustrated and explained on a different sturdy card in this new deck by Emily Fuller Williams. Based on her book,Mudras: Ancient Gestures to Ease Modern Stress, the cards introduce gestures that can be done at desks, on bus rides, in circle time and when frustrated on the playground. Teach a different one each day, or combine several in a unit on emotional health. ISBN 978-1-936903-05-4, $12.95.
