Book excerpt: It is frustrating for children and their families when a child can't recognise or safely express their emotions. This book will explain why many children, including children with disabilities struggle to learn about and manage their emotions and then it will give you practical strategies to support them to do so.These strategies require 5-20 minutes a day and are suitable for all people regardless of their age, challenges and their support needs. However, whilst children are still learning about their emotions they need the adults around them to help them manage their emotions. This book will provide you with 3 key practical and easy to implement strategies that will be of use when helping children to manage their emotions before they are able to do so unaided.This book uses evidence based strategies that the author has been implementing in schools and pre-schools in Australia and New Zealand for several years. Every child who has been using the strategies described in this book has developed more understanding of their emotions and been able to express them more safely after 8-10 weeks. The author has also used these strategies in her private practice with a range of adults, who have said that they feel calmer and more in control. This book provides parents and educators with all the tools they need to support children and young people to develop the practical skills needed to learn to understand and effectively express their emotions. It provides the neuroscience and biological explanations behind why children loose control and practical activities to help them develop their interoception, the very foundation of being able to self-manage and self-regulate emotions.

Download or read book Interoception and Regulation written by Emma Goodall and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-21 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are some things that many of us take for granted - such as knowing when we are hot or cold, feel hungry, or need to go to the toilet. But how do we know these things, and why do some people struggle to recognise them? Interoception - the ability to identify and act on physical sensations inside the body - is crucial to human well-being. It underpins physical developmental milestones, such as toilet-training, as well emotional ones, such as the ability to self-regulate. Research shows that Autism often co-occurs with poor interoceptive sense. This practical and informative book demystifies interoception and provides tools to help boost interoceptive abilities. It summarises the latest research, explores how interoceptive difficulties can be identified, suggests strategies to manage feelings and emotions, and explains how to support individuals in 'tuning in' to themselves.

Download or read book Interoception Contemplative Practice and Health written by Norman Farb and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an emergent movement of scientists and scholars working on somatic awareness, interoception and embodiment. This work cuts across studies of neurophysiology, somatic anthropology, contemplative practice, and mind-body medicine. Key questions include: How is body awareness cultivated? What role does interoception play for emotion and cognition in healthy adults and children as well as in different psychopathologies? What are the neurophysiological effects of this cultivation in practices such as Yoga, mindfulness meditation, Tai Chi and other embodied contemplative practices? What categories from other traditions might be useful as we explore embodiment? Does the cultivation of body awareness within contemplative practice offer a tool for coping with suffering from conditions, such as pain, addiction, and dysregulated emotion? This emergent field of research into somatic awareness and associated interoceptive processes, however, faces many obstacles. The principle obstacle lies in our 400-year Cartesian tradition that views sensory perception as epiphenomenal to cognition. The segregation of perception and cognition has enabled a broad program of cognitive science research, but may have also prevented researchers from developing paradigms for understanding how interoceptive awareness of sensations from inside the body influences cognition. The cognitive representation of interoceptive signals may play an active role in facilitating therapeutic transformation, e.g. by altering context in which cognitive appraisals of well-being occur. This topic has ramifications into disparate research fields: What is the role of interoceptive awareness in conscious presence? How do we distinguish between adaptive and maladaptive somatic awareness? How do we best measure somatic awareness? What are the consequences of dysregulated somatic/interoceptive awareness on cognition, emotion, and behavior? The complexity of these questions calls for the creative integration of perspectives and findings from related but often disparate research areas including clinical research, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, anthropology, religious/contemplative studies and philosophy.

Download or read book The Anxiety Workbook for Supporting Teens Who Learn Differently written by Clare Ward and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The teenage years are associated with high levels of uncertainty and anxiety, compounded by academic and social demands, and physical and emotional changes. They can be especially tough for teenagers who learn differently. This workbook contains a host of practical activities for teachers and other adults supporting young people with learning differences, whether at home or in the classroom. Drawing on their years of first hand experience, and up to the minute research, the authors outline a trans-diagnostic framework for identifying what might be behind a student's behaviour. They show how the first crucial step all practitioners must take is to work out what could be causing a teen's feelings of anxiety or uncertainty, and how this can be addressed. The activities in this workbook are organised into three sections, each addressing one of the three key areas where anxiety or uncertainty can be found: the structural, sensory and social domains. The tried-and-tested worksheets and activities present a much-needed alternative to a diagnosis-led approach. They can be used with any teenager, with or without a diagnosis, in classroom settings, intervention groups, or one to one work. The Anxiety Workbook will help you to really understand and address the needs of the SEN students you support, thereby improving their well-being, confidence and self-esteem and empowering them to get the most out of their education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 100 Fun Activities for Kids to Learn Kindness, Compassion, and Understanding of Other People's Feelings *****Activities for Parents to Teach Kids to Understand Emotions, and Reduce Anxiety and Boredom**** The "Empathy Workbook for Kids: 100 Fun Activities for Kids to Learn Kindness, Compassion, and Understanding of Other People's Feelings" is an engaging, comprehensive, and thoughtfully curated guide that promises to nurture the seeds of empathy, kindness, and compassion in children. This workbook is designed specifically for children aged 6-12, providing a wide array of activities that aim to make the concept of empathy not just understandable but also enjoyable for young minds. This book serves as a roadmap, guiding children on a journey of emotional discovery and growth. It begins by demystifying the concept of empathy, explaining its importance in simple, child-friendly language. Children learn that empathy is about understanding and sharing others' feelings, which leads to stronger, more meaningful relationships and contributes to a kinder, more inclusive world. The workbook is divided into ten enriching chapters, each dedicated to a different aspect or application of empathy. These include understanding emotions, practicing kindness, expressing gratitude, resolving conflicts, and incorporating mindfulness. Each chapter introduces a concept, explains why it's important, and then immerses children in a variety of engaging activities to reinforce their understanding and skill development. In the initial chapters, children are introduced to their own emotions and those of others through activities like "Emotion Charades" and "Feelings Journaling". They learn to identify, express, and manage their emotions, which is the first step towards understanding the feelings of others. They are also taught about active listening and perspective-taking, crucial skills for empathetic interactions. The following chapters delve into the world of kindness and gratitude. Here, children are encouraged to perform acts of kindness and reflect on their positive impact. They learn the value of saying thank you, appreciating what they have, and recognizing the good in others. Activities such as "Kindness Bingo", "Gratitude Journaling", and "Thankfulness Tree" make these practices fun and memorable. Conflict resolution is another key focus of the workbook. Children learn that disagreements are a part of life, but it's how we handle them that matters. Through role-play and reflection exercises, they learn to apologize sincerely, negotiate fairly, and find peaceful solutions to problems. This equips them with the tools to navigate difficult situations and maintain harmonious relationships. The latter part of the workbook introduces mindfulness, a powerful practice that promotes presence, calmness, and emotional regulation. Through activities like "Mindful Breathing", "Mindful Eating", and "Body Scan Meditation", children learn to focus their attention, manage stress, and develop a deeper self-awareness. The final chapter provides an opportunity for children to review and reflect on their learning journey. They take an "Empathy Quiz", set personal goals, and create a scrapbook of their empathy journey. This encourages them to consolidate their learning, recognize their growth, and plan for their continued emotional development. The "Empathy Workbook for Kids: 100 Fun Activities for Kids to Learn Kindness, Compassion, and Understanding of Other People's Feelings" is more than just a book - it's an adventure into the world of emotions, a toolkit for building stronger relationships, and a stepping stone towards a kinder, more empathetic future. By guiding children through this journey, we can help them grow into compassionate, understanding, and emotionally intelligent individuals who are ready to make a positive impact on the world.
