A simple and effective picture book to help kids overcome disappointment, adapt to change and inspire a positive outlook, optimism and resilience. Teach optimism and how to cope with disappointment to even the youngest children (2+) through simple practical explanations and pictures that empower kids to choose to focus on what they can control to make the best of the situation.
Disappointment is a Wave shares simple nature-based strategies to help kids transform disappointment into proactive optimism and adaptability. Help children (or your inner child) focus on what they can control instead of what they can't control to make the best of the situation.
Disappointment is a Wave is part of a six book emotion series, created by Special Education teacher, curriculum writer and mother of two young boys, to help children, parents and educators develop their emotional regulation skills:
- Anger is a Storm
- Fear is a Volcano
- Disappointment is a Wave
- Jealousy is the Moon
- Insecurity is a Seed
- Sadness is a Dark Cloud
Social Emotional Learning standards are quickly becoming mandatory in many school districts. Teach your children to manage negative emotions in positive and productive ways with this fun and simple emotional intelligence and self-regulation book. Every picture book includes a reading response activity for parents, teachers, therapists or school social workers to lead an effortless discussion or lesson on emotional intelligence.
