Ups and Downs

A book for kids about big feelings

By Karen Young, Norvile Dovidonyte

All feelings are important - the magical, the messy, and the inbetween. Some mes though, big feelings can have us behaving in ways that aren’t so, let’s say... shiny. This happens to all of us. The more young people understand how and why, the more they can build the capacity to feel their feelings and manage them in posi ve ways. ‘Ups and Downs’ draws on Polyvagal Theory, a widely accepted neuroscien fic theory, to support young people to understand why they feel and do as they do, and how to do differently when they need to. Driving brains and bodies isn’t easy! It takes me, experience, and the right informa on, so let’s give them that.

Dear You, Love From Your Brain

A book for kids about the brain

By Karen Young, Norvile Dovidonyte

Like all strong, beau ful, important things, brains take me to build. Along the way, children have an enormous capacity to influence the brain-building process in profound and enduring ways. First though, they need informa on that will help them perform their magic. This book will help children discover more about the brain - how it works, what it needs, and how to love it big so it loves them bigger.

But We're Not Lions

By Karen Young, Norvile Dovidonyte

The animals were mighty and magnificent, but they were miserable! For way too long, theyd been forced to become something that didn’t feel right - something that felt too much like bad days and scratchy things. The animals needed a hero, or someone to show them that a hero was in each of them all along. A book about boundaries, peer pressure, self-esteem, and selfacceptance, and a reminder for all kids that the very best thing about them, is them.

Waffle Can't Decide

By Brenda S. Miles, Monika Filipina

Developing solid decision-making skills is a fundamental milestone for children as they learn to navigate the world and all the choices in it. Simply said, Waffle Can't Decide is a super relatable and engaging story about making decisions and being decisive. Blue socks! Red socks! Striped socks! Within a swirl of indecisiveness, Waffle just can't decide what to do! And suddenly everything turns into a deciding disaster! Every day we need to all make all kinds of decisions. Some are easy so we don't need to think about them much. Others are tough and we need me to ponder. Decisions are important for bringing us joy, and they are crucial for survival. Everyday we make observa ons about the color of sky, the sound of waves, the smell of flowers, the taste of honey, but decision-making is more cerebral and abstract. As young brains develop, understanding how the brain thinks and chooses will help children be er navigate the world and all the choices in it.

A Perfec onist's Guide to Not Being Perfect

By Bonnie Zucker

It's hard for teens to be happy when they've created a very narrow window of what defines success. The goal of this helpful book is to encourage teens to maintain their desire to achieve without striving to always be perfect and to appreciate and love who they are just as they are, not for what they do or accomplish. Finding a balance between work and play is key. Challenging perfec onism is about the pursuit of happiness. When teens can recognize that perfec onism is a disadvantage, they can become mo vated to do something about it. For many, it may just be shi ing the perfec onism a bit to land in a more posi ve place. It might be about deciding when and where to be slightly perfec onis c, when and where they can let go of high standards and all-or-nothing thinking, and when it's okay to simply do a "good enough" job on something. Topics covered include: What is Perfec onism & Why Change it?
