Download or read book Imagine Childhood written by Sarah Olmsted and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For children, potential is limitless, curiosity is an electrical current, and every moment is open to the possibility of the unexpected. Day-to-day life is filled with adventure. Road blocks are invitations to try new routes. And the world is vast and expansive. This book is a celebration of childhood through the crafts and activities that invite wonder and play. The twenty-five projects and activities in this book are meant to speak to the way children engage with the world. These projects are not about what is produced in the end (although that part is fun too) but rather they are stepping-off points—activities that spark curiosity, an adventure, or an investigation. They’re about the process of getting there. They’re about the conversations that happen while making things together. They’re about getting to know the world inch by inch. They’re about exploring imaginary universes and running through real forests. They’re about living in childhood . . . regardless of your actual age. They’re about being a kid.

Sally is usually the happiest kid. She wakes up every morning with a bright sun shining over her bed, and she knows it's going to be a good day. But one day she wakes up feeling different and there's a gloomy cloud hanging over her instead. She doesn't know why it's there, but she doesn't want anyone to see it--not her parents, not her teacher, and not her friends--so she hides it away. But as the day goes on, the cloud grows too big and heavy for her to carry, and Sally must find the courage to let it out. In this sweet story, Sarah Bagley Steele, Elsa Pu Si Lo, and Clarice Cai offer a gentle reminder that everyone feels sad sometimes, and that's okay.

Download or read book 101 Mindful Arts Based Activities to Get Children and Adolescents Talking written by Dawn D'Amico and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many children who have experienced serious trauma are withdrawn and closed off, making it difficult to engage with them in therapy effectively. This book offers a compendium of therapeutic activities that will help children who have endured painful abuse to open up, so that they can learn to express their feelings and therapy can be directed towards their individual needs. From useful techniques for bridging memory gaps to using masks for self-expression, the innovative activities use mindfulness, art and play to help children feel relaxed and responsive. The activities require very little preparation, and use only everyday items that are easy to access and can be used time and time again. Case studies throughout offer a helpful demonstration of how the activities work in practice. This is an ideal resource for use with children in therapeutic, home and school settings. It is appropriate to use with children aged 5-17 who have experienced trauma, physical abuse, sexual abuse, forced migration and severe neglect, as well as those with acute depression, anxiety and behavioural difficulties.
