This Social Story "All About My Feelings” is a lesson designed to help young children understand and recognize their emotions. In this story, we explore different feelings like happiness, sadness, anger, fear, excitement, and confusion. Each page shows how we can express these feelings and what to do when we experience them. The social story speaks about how some feelings are small and mellow and easier to manage, while others are big and strong and more difficult to control. The social story provides opportunity to students to provide input and participate in providing answers. The lesson uses the analogy of filling a balloon with air to explain the healthy expression of feelings. Lesson Tip: In order to make this lesson more fun and interactive with students, we recommend using a physical balloon to demonstrate the analogy of how filling up a balloon too much is just like holding in our emotions for too long and letting them pile up inside of us. You may also use the balloon to show how letting our emotions out too quickly causes the balloon to fly around out of control just like when we let our own feelings out too quickly and act out with behaviour (the kids will get a kick out of watching the balloon fly around the room!); alternatively, letting the air out slowly results in a calmer experience, just like when we let our emotions out slowly and feel more in control. By learning about our feelings, we can better communicate with friends and family, find ways to calm down, and ask for help when we need it. This 36-page social story/lesson conveys these themes using practical examples, activities, engaging visuals, and developmentally appropriate language. It is best suited to K-6, and special education settings. Let’s dive into the wonderful world of feelings together!

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!

The Grateful Journal helps people to make gratitude a habit by encouraging daily practice of being thankful for what we have. The gratitude journal is in digital format, and so is easily printable and you may print as many pages as you like! Most of us lead busy lives and it can be easy to get caught up with the day to day challenges. But, in the midst of the chaos, it is important not to lose sight of the fact that there is always something to be grateful for. As much as we may be overcoming obstacles and solving problems, how often do we take the time to truly celebrate the positives? This journal was created to help you make quality time for gratitude. Use it to reflect on your day, week or month - what did you enjoy? what made you smile? It might be a person in your life or a moment you shared or experience you enjoyed. It could be as simple as a delicious cup of coffee in the morning or watching a beautiful sunrise. Let it remind you of the little things in life. This journal has helpful strategies and tools to encourage gratitude, as well as daily entries for each month of the year, so you may have space for growth each and every day of the year!
