RIGHT NOW: Acquiring essential emotional skills from an early age – Mindfulness concepts for children and adults.
THIS BOOK COMES WITH A FREE DOWNLOADABLE PARENT/EDUCATOR GUIDE with suggestions and ideas of activities you can do to support learning during shared-expanded reading. It is NOT a book for learning to read, but one that encourages reflection. LIKE ALL THE BOOKS IN THE ‘I realise’ SERIES, it is designed to help its readers ACQUIRE ESSENTIAL COGNITIVE, EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIOURAL SKILLS from an early age.
Emotional Intelligence targeted in this
Being consciously present.
Knowing how to enjoy, take advantage and make the most of each moment.
Being prepared, organised, learning from experience, and having goals (rather than worrying about the future or dwelling in the past).
Noticing and understanding the relationship between ‘where our thoughts are placed in time’ and the way we experience things.
Using the concept of time to our benefit, in other words choosing to direct our thoughts (to the present, past or future) depending on what is most useful.
CHILDREN LOVE THESE STORIES which they share with adults. Parents and teachers are invited to read them to children, as explained in the guide that accompanies the ‘I realise’ series.
THE ‘I realise’ SERIES WILL BE USEFUL TO SCHOOLS who wish to provide a personal, cognitive, emotional and behavioural development program for their students, or as part of a nurture or support program.
These books (also available in other languages) can be used in English as a Second Language (ESL) or in foreign LANGUAGE TEACHING – for more information, please refer to the downloadable guide (link provided inside each book).
These ‘I realise’ stories provide opportunities for children (and adults) to acknowledge their own and others’ feelings, to understand the relationship between their thoughts and feelings, and to develop empathy, self-efficacy, confidence, responsibility and resilience, so that they are equipped to make effective choices and to succeed. In order to choose well, we need to have a good awareness of our options, and of the factors affecting our choices, which include recognising and taking into account emotions and their influence on us. The ‘I realise’ book series aims to develop that awareness in our readers, helping them acquire skills which are hard to measure and yet so important in anyone’s life. They are life skills that play such a huge role in everything we do and contribute so enormously to everyone’s success and wellbeing that we absolutely need to honour these skills. They constitute our Emotional Intelligence, an intelligence that the ‘I realise’ series aims to develop from childhood, for we all know now that Emotional Intelligence deserves at least as much attention as we pay to Intellectual Quotient.
Enjoy reading and sharing!
