You think we just read books. But what children b You think we just read books. But what children bring into a reading circle are feelings they don't know to process and experiences they’re quietly making sense of. This is what a strong SEL-rooted readaloud looks like: A carefully chosen story + noticing tiny details+ plenty of space to share and listen + a tool that helps. It also means Not rushing to fix, Not asking for the “right” response, Not giving solutions even but holding space and listening long enough for children to try. Quietly introducing perspectives in a safe way. Gently nudging them towards finding their own answers. If you’re an educator, librarian, or parent or anyone who reads to children: How are you holding space during storytime? Because even through stories, children are asking "Am I seen?" #ammatoday #ammatoday_books
Presenting EQ circle Dec- US batch ➡️A one of Presenting EQ circle Dec- US batch ➡️A one of a kind reading circle and workshop where children will - Read a carefully chosen book based on a specific emotion - Discuss the book - Go through activity sheets on the emotion together - Learn to build emotional awareness - Wonder about the best personal coping mechanism for themselves - Do an art therapy exercise to sit with that emotion better And most importantly do it in a safe space. Too often, we focus only on coping mechanisms. Here we will be focusing on normalising emotions, coping strategies as well as understanding how emotions can manifest differently for different people. FAQ ➡️This is for children of approx 5-10 years since the books and activities are chosen accordingly. ➡️Please ask your child if they would be interested before signing them up. Their consent is necessary. ➡️The online live sessions take place on Microsoft Teams everyday from 9-10 p.m IST ➡️Recordings of all sessions along with printables will be available until 4th Jan. ➡️You do not need to have the book we are reading. You will be required to print out the activity sheets and keep them ready before each session. ➡️Parents are more than welcome to sit with your child during sessions if they prefer it. ➡️Lastly, limited seats only to give individual attention and make the sharing space meaningful.💜 Swipe through to read some of the feedback from previous sessions. ➡️ Registration link goes live at 10p.m IST today and is only open for subscribers to ensure children are comfortable with our style of reading sessions. Cannot wait for a magical month💜
We've read 2 of these books in bookclub already. T We've read 2 of these books in bookclub already. These are some lovely books that don't take the moral high ground but break it down for reflection in a child friendly way. Would you like a seperate post on prompts you can use along with reading these books? #ammatoday_books
