“As we teach children to regulate their behavior by considering the thoughts and feelings of others, we must start by helping them understand how their own thoughts work. This book is a wonderful way to teach students to be aware of their thoughts and show them that they have the ability to choose how they react to their thoughts. This awareness and understanding of one’s own thoughts is the first step in changing behavior.”
The Power of Thought on Feelings
The Power of Thought on Feelings
Authors: Jack Pransky, Amy Kahofer
This wonderfully illustrated children's book (previously titled, What is a Thought) not only introduces young readers to the concept of thought but also to the amazing power of their own thoughts and feelings. Through a rhyming poem, the authors communicate a simple yet profound message: our thoughts create our feelings and behavior, and when our minds are calm, we have access to mindful, healthy feelings and responses. A perfect read-aloud for caregivers and an important book for all early primary school teachers to share in their mainstream classes. Use this book as a powerful metacognitive teaching tool.
