The various activities, designed to help young children identify and talk about their feelings and learn to self-regulate, come with step-by-step instructions for making the concepts and practices accessible and kid-friendly. Included are lessons on the exploration of the breath, the senses, emotions, gratitude, kindness, compassion, courage, and curiosity. Each lesson strives to inspire students-and their teachers-to navigate life more joyfully and creatively. Grades K–3. Appendixes. Resources. Illustrated. Parallax. 262 pages. ©2018.
