Food for thought- Are we sometimes forgetting the Food for thought- Are we sometimes forgetting the difference between processing, and regulating our emotions?

I'd love to hear what you think.💜
#ammatoday_eq You've been asking me for books on #ammatoday_eq

You've been asking me for books on emotional regulation and honestly there were too many, I had to make a series of them.

Here are my top 4 books on anger. What I love about all of them are that they do give coping strategies but before that, they normalize the emotion, gently and encourage sitting with it causing an important mind shift.

1. Teeth are not for biting series
This is a beautiful series perfect for young babies and toddlers, tackling behaviour such as hitting, biting, etc.

2. Ahn's anger @gailsilver1
A gorgeous book on how anger can be scary but how we can sit with it and help it, this is perfect for older children.

3. The boy, the troll and the chalk @anneboothauthor
I like that this one puts anger into perspective subtly. What happens to us when we get angry? Do we probably just need a little kindness? Could we extend it to others, perhaps? Perfect for preschooler upwards and preferably guided reading only.

4. Aaaaaaanddddd 
Anger, from storm to calm by yours truly @agan_adhigaram @ammatoday @vividsandpastels

An interactive book that also works as an all in one tool kit for children to make friends with and cope with anger.
Coming very, very, very soon.

ETA: All seats taken, folks. Project that I've be ETA: All seats taken, folks.

Project that I've been working on for the last few months.

➡️Presenting EQ week

➡️Morning batch is sold out and so opening a small evening 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 Teams on 10, 12, 14, 16 and 17 May.

➡️Recordings of all sessions along with printables will be available until 22nd May.

➡️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.💜

You can find registration link on my bio.
