Powerfully You: Learning to Use Tools
Help your child explore sensory-motor tools to empower self-regulation. When children feel regulated they can better meet their own needs and match the expectations of the situation.
Research shows that increasing a person's body awareness and self-regulatory capacity results in improved emotional mastery, for both children and adults. This book expands on Powerfully Learning to Notice Body Sensations by introducing sensory-motor tools. Readers are guided through experimenting with tools and noticing how those tools affect their "activation". Each person is unique and has individual differences that affect how a tool will work for them. This book will guide exploration, validate each individual's experience, and empower awareness that leads to increased regulatory capacity.
The authors, Amy and Heather are pediatric Occupational Therapists with over 40 years of combined experience in working with children and their families. They created Powerfully a social-emotional learning program that focuses on self-regulation. Powerfully You presents concepts through a lens that values individual differences and encourages compassion, curiosity, and connection.
This book is designed to accompany the curriculum or be used independently. Any child will benefit from this introduction to the concepts of body sensing and using tools to match activation. Powerfully Learning to Use Tools can be used by parents, teachers, or therapists to help children begin learning about themselves and managing their emotions.
