This is a fabulous book for therapists, parents, teachers, and anyone that works with kids. I went to a training a few weeks ago, and this was one of the many books I added to my reading list. It is great to help adults understand children's needs when they become upset as well as how to meet them. It also has a lot of useful information on how to build a child's emotional intelligence. It is very user friendly and easy to read.
After reading it, I created a five day group curriculum to help share some of the age-appropriate information with my group. Please email me for the full powerpoint.
Friday was a review day. Clients shared ways that the information has impacted them this week, and questions that this new information generated. We set the stage of this being a science oriented theme. This helped keep their attention and to help them think about the material in a constructive way.
It is very empowering and exciting for children to gain understanding to how their brain works.
