“I’m so excited I don’t know what to do!”

When children have big emotions, it’s hard to control them sometimes. We can teach them strategies they can use for life. The children on the planet Tezra are being taken on a surprise field trip and are very exited. Nyx gets so wound up that the friends take the time to teach Nyx and the others how to ground themselves using the elements of earth, wind, fire and water. They use their imaginations to calm down so they can all go safely on their trip. This practice can be used to manage any big emotion.

Children on this planet glow in the colour they are feeling and Nyx is surrounded by the colours that represent all of those feelings.

“I Can Ground Myself”, is one of five books in the Power of Thought Series for children. Each book begins with a conflict that every child can relate to and teaches an evidence-based strategy that adults can model for everyday use. Children will learn, in a fun way, how to problem-solve and find positive solutions to everyday situations.

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.
