How can children cope with anger, anxiety, or frustration? How about the “mad” dance? Or kneading bread? Or defusing the stress with silliness? These are just a few of the dozens of soothing and coping strategies described in Self-Calming Cards ($12.95, Parenting Press), a 36-card full-color deck. Created by Elizabeth Crary and Mits Katayama, both of Seattle, these cards include step-by-step instructions in English and Spanish for introducing both the concept of self-calming and calming activities such as blowing bubbles, stringing beads, singing, jumping rope, and soaking in a warm bath. Parenting Press is celebrating its 25th anniversary with three publications that teach kids about emotions: the Self-Calming Cards, The Way I Feel, and What Am I Feeling? |
