This is a social story meant to help children to navigate and deal with bullying in healthy and effective ways. This social story validates the student’s emotions, by acknowledging how bullying can make them feel, and identifies that bullying can be towards them or others, and affect them equally. The script goes on to present differences between ‘bad’ choices and ‘good’ choices, and outlines ‘good’ ways to deal with bullying, to keep themselves happy and safe. It is in PDF, 8.5 x 11 inch format, and so can easily be printed and/or laminated. It is presented in a simple, fun and visual format, and can be used across all ages and developmental levels. I have personally used it in individual and group format, in elementary and special needs junior high/high school classrooms. I hope it helps you, help your students! I always appreciate feedback and comments, so please feel free to leave your opinions and suggestions! Thank you

When Someone I Care About, Dies: Grief Journal In response to our brief social story on supporting a grieving student, we were asked if we had a more in-depth resource for our grieving kids - and, after a lot of thought, work and care, we finally have published a comprehensive grief journal! This 43-page comprehensive journal is meant to act as a guide to assist children and youth through their grief journey. It is intended to answer some of children’s questions about death, and provide information about death and dying, and the feelings we may experience when someone we care about, dies. Some examples of topics/questions covered include: Why do people die? Who is in our Circle of Support? What is the Life Cycle? Will the person come back? What happens at a funeral? Where does the person go? Are my feelings normal? Who can I talk to? What happens in our bodies when we grieve? What can make me feel better? Will I feel happy again? What are some self-care activities I can do? What happens over time? Grief glossary - what are some words I may hear when a person dies? Self-expression page The journal helps children to normalize the grief experience, and guides them through important topics and feelings related to the loss of a loved one. The journal is in PDF (8.5" x 11") format, and so is easily printable and may be laminated and put in a binder or folder. It uses developmentally appropriate language, and engaging visuals. It is presented as a social story, but also in a workbook-like format, where the child can contribute their own answers and fill in information that helps them to engage in and reflect on their grief experience. The intention is to work through the journal alongside a trusted adult, so they may be adequately listened to and supported. As always, please leave your feedback and review so that we may continue to provide practical resources to our fellow educators. And, please follow our page so you may receive new and up to date materials. Thank you!

Taming Your Thoughts is a Fun, Simple and Interactive Activity that Helps to Empower Kids and Youth to Take Control of Their Thoughts. This 14 page resource is in Powerpoint format, in 8x11.5 inches, and so can be easily printed. It is best suited for approximately Grade 3 to 8, but can be used across all elementary and junior high levels. Children, just like adults, can be hard on themselves when it comes to how they think about what they do or say. This is particularly true for kids with mental health issues or behavioural disorders who may be especially down on themselves. They can get stuck in negative thinking patterns that can make emotions seem overwhelming, and contribute to social/emotional difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, and social isolation. These negative thinking patterns are also referred to as cognitive distortions, cognitive errors or thinking mistakes – and they are very common, but often times are unrealistic, and need taming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), teaches us to recognize and catch thinking errors that may be making us feel negative about ourselves, and provides skills to change negative, debilitating thoughts into positive, empowering thoughts. CBT can be learned easily with enough practice, and can help us and the children we raise and work with, to live healthier and happier lives. The following exercise is a simple strategy to empower kids to identify, challenge and control their thinking. The strategy is preceded by clear examples, followed by concrete and simple to follow instructions and templates that can be used across home and school settings. The General Overview: Child writes down their current negative thoughts in the thought bubbles provided Then, they use the subsequent page to write down their positive replacement thoughts They then cut out the positive replacement thoughts and glue the upper tab to the top portion of the negative thoughts (it will work like a flap). In the end, child will have negative thoughts, with flaps over top, containing the positive replacement thoughts They can use this tool to practice replacing negative thinking with positive thinking! Have fun with it! And, as usual, please feel free to leave a comment/feedback/suggestion to earn credits towards future purchases, and to allow me to continue to provide practical resources to my fellow educators. Thank you!
