BooksCaptain Snout and the Super Power Questions
by Daniel G. Amen, MD This book is an excellent introduction for children to the idea that thoughts influence how we feel. See my blog post about it. Highly recommend! |
ArticlesThe following articles were listed at the end of my blog post about gratitude:
Gratitude Practice Explained by Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence 3 Ways to Practice Gratitude by KidsHealth.org 7 Scientifically Proven Benefits of Gratitude at Psychology Today How Gratitude Changes You and Your Brain by Greater Good Magazine |
VideosThis video by Brooks Gibbs about how to respond to "bullying" has been used in the 5th grade Lunch Bunch group with both boys and girls. It is an excellent starting point to discussing how to handle peers who are not respectful.
Instead of buying the book, watch Dr. Amen as he reads his Captain Snout book in its entirety.
