Karen Young Hey Warrior
Empower children to manage their anxiety by learning that it comes from a place of protective strength within their brains—the amygdala—a tiny but fierce personal “warrior” that prepares us to fight or flee danger, even when we don’t need or want its protection! Wonderful illustrations and keen insights gently teach children how to be the boss of their brains and let their warriors know when to stand down and relax through positive thinking and breathing exercises. By understanding the physical science of anxiety and why their brains produce it, children can then learn to master it as a positive, friendly superpower.

Use this updated dry-erase poster (18" x 24") as you teach individuals ages 8+ Social Situation Mapping (SSM). SSM is a powerful, versatile, metacognitive tool to encourage an understanding of how we are all part of a socially responsive community; that the things we ALL do impact one another's thoughts and feelings, which guides what we do and say, and ultimately how we feel ourselves. The poster outlines the 10-step teaching and discovery process that helps learners understand social situations and get a better insight into why people do and say what they do. The map starts with defining a particular situation; the location, people, and what is happening. Then, individuals follow a structured process to understand how words and actions impact not only thoughts and feelings, but actions as well. This proactive visual tool is designed to initially teach from the individual's point of view (i.e., inside out teaching) and how others impact their thoughts and feelings. Note: Earlier versions of this product were referred to as Social Behavior Mapping. Ages: 8+
