50 Fantastic Ideas for Supporting Children's Wellbeing is packed
full of easy-to-follow activities to calm busy minds and bodies and
develop young children's self-esteem through engagement with their
senses, nature and the world around them. With the ever-increasing
pressures on children and teachers in schools for results and
academic success, the desire for time and space for young children
in the Early Years to calm their minds and bodies and tune into the
natural environment is growing. Rebecca Gordine presents 50 ideas
to address this and nurture young children's concept of self and
wellbeing, from playing with warm noodles and making a healthy soup
recipe, to tuning into nature by listening to bird songs, and
creating a singing show.
Mind Like Mine is a stigma-busting collection of biographies of
some of the great people from history who have lived with mental
health conditions. Did you know Charles Darwin experienced anxiety
and Florence Nightingale lived with PTSD? From Michelangelo to
Deepika Padukone, Ada Lovelace to Freddie Flintoff, a great many
successful people with brilliant minds and talents have lived or
are living with mental health disorders. The biographies in this
book show that you can't always tell what a person is going
through, and that mental health conditions can and do impact people
from all walks of life. The aim of this book is to help remove some
of the stigma around mental health, discuss different mental health
conditions, what they mean and how they are treated; and ultimately
to show that mental health disorders do not have to hold anyone
back from achieving their dreams. The figures featured are from a
range of diverse backgrounds and disciplines across science,
literature, art, music, sport, politics and popular culture.
Additional feature pages will explain and explore key mental health
conditions including depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive
compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety and eating disorders.
Ryan is scared to use the potty. He's afraid to have a poop because
he's afraid it's going to hurt. When Ryan's parents take him to
visit Dr. Gold, she engages his imagination with the story of Bill
the Coyote's messy house. She also shows him what happens inside
the body, and explains how different foods make using the potty
easy or hard. This story, along with Ryan's "poop program," will
help young children gain the confidence they need to overcome this
common problem and establish healthy habits.
With very low level text, these books are simple introductions to
how children can look after themselves and their physical and
mental health. Questions throughout encourage children to talk
about their ideas and experiences and engage children with the
topic. The All About Me series helps young children to learn more
about themselves, their body and their health. Read the other
titles in the series: Family, Growing up, Keeping Well, My Body, My
Senses.

The perfect tool to teach children about both infectious, chronic,
and mental illnesses they may be experiencing firsthand. When I Get
Sick provides parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers the
opportunity to speak with children about this important topic. Have
you ever been sick? Or do you know someone who has been sick for a
long time? How do you take care of yourself when you're feeling
ill? How can you get healthy again? How can you avoid getting sick
in the first place? When I Get Sick realistically addresses both
infectious and chronic diseases, from the common cold to cancer.
The children in this book discuss their different experiences with
being sick so that every reader can find themselves on these pages.
Children will learn about germs, viruses versus bacterial
infections, and contagious versus noncontagious illnesses and
issues. They'll see children attend doctor's appointments,
experience blood tests and imaging, and even spend time in the
hospital for surgeries. Preventative techniques such as
handwashing, a healthy diet and exercise, and vaccinations are also
discussed in detail. Everything from ear aches, coughs and colds,
tummy aches, chicken pox, the flu, diabetes, cancer,
neurodermatitis, heart defects and asthma, to allergies, broken
bones, and mental illness is discussed in this thoughtful and
sensitive book. In When I Get Sick, award-winning author and
illustrator Dagmar Geisler presents the perfect opportunity for
adults to talk to children about diseases, treatments, prevention,
and how important it is to take care of their mind and body.
