Synopsis

The Stress-Free Me! Educator’s Guide and illustrated poem books, Stress-Free Me! Finding Your Calm, contain information and activities to manage stress for children. The intent of these books is to help children ages 8 to 14 understand that there are times in everyone’s life when something occurs that causes fear, stress, or uncertainty, but there are many effective coping strategies to manage these emotions so that it will not overwhelm or incapacitate them. If children can learn new strategies and rehearse these methods to manage their feelings, they can be empowered by their own success. The strategies in the Finding Your Calm book are actual suggestions used by the authors who are licensed school and professional counselors. Their own children and grandchildren have utilized these suggestions as they, too, have worked through unfamiliar scary, frustrating, or challenging situations. The poem and attractive illustrations will appeal to students and show them techniques for handling stressful situations. The Classroom Experiential Activities in the Educator’s Guide are useful and practical exercises for groups and individuals: Reading to a Child Managing Stress and Demonstrating Emotional Control: Experiential Small Group/Classroom Activities What Stresses You Out? Working Through Stress Control Squares Relaxation Exercise The authors realize the value of helping children develop positive coping skills to deal with stress before it becomes debilitating. Early intervention is imperative in assisting children to develop effective coping strategies before negative and self-defeating responses can influence their social, emotional, and academic experiences. The Educator’s Guide is 34 pages and the poem book is 12 pages.
