Description

Imagine children glowing in the colour of how they are feeling! We all have emotions, and that's OK!

Does your child need to learn how to recognize, understand and appropriately express their emotions?

The children on the planet Tezra cannot hide their emotions because they haven't learned to control them yet. I Have Choices begins with a conflict that every child can relate to and teaches an evidence-based strategy adults can model for everyday use. Children will learn, in a fun way, how to problem solve and find positive solutions to everyday situations.

Did you notice that Nyx, Carnuli, Epido, Lazu, and Zirco are all named after crystals? They also hover and are non-identifiable by gender. Crystals are known to help with physical, emotional and spiritual healing.

"The Power of Thought" children's book series has been developed alongside clinicians, educators and parents to use as a proactive resource in teaching children emotional literacy.

Read this imaginary, fun and practical book to your child, grandchild or students so they can start practicing the strategy of "I Have Choices" right away! Help them build self-awareness, motivation, empathy, social and self-regulation skills.

"I Have Choices was a fun and easy read. My son was intrigued instantly by the bright colours and the creative characters. He was even excited to practice the skills outlined in the book. As a parent, I am relieved that this kind of book is finally available to help teach kids fun ways to handle their emotions, it's long overdue!"

"The Power of Thought Series uses relatable and engaging stories to bring to life important and impactful coping skills. These books have the potential to be a powerful tool in supporting children with the development of emotional intelligence and psychological resilience. They are a unique and child-friendly way of demonstrating and teaching evidence-based strategies.

A quick and attention-grabbing read, the first book in the series: The Power of Thought, illustrates the link between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. The book guides the reader in challenging unhelpful thoughts that feed feelings like worry and demonstrates how to transform these into helpful, confident thoughts and actions. Building on cognitive-behavioural principles, the book introduces age-appropriate vocabulary and thought challenging techniques.

These books will be a helpful resource for anyone who works with children- parents, teachers, and clinicians." Dr. Jasmine Dean, PhD, C. Psych.

"We didn't talk about our feelings when I was growing up. Not many people of my generation or even the next generation did. This book and series now helps me as a grandparent. I love the way the authors teach emotional vocabulary, but in a way that lets children use their imagination. The strategy they include in this book is so easy to use. My grandson is already practicing it and I am learning to express myself at the same time. He loves Zirco and can't wait for the next book to come out." Sarah Addeman Grandparent
