Control Your Kids: New Book Unleashes Seriously Fun Behavior Workshops to Teach Children Key Social and Coping Skills
Cincinnati, OH, September 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Returning to school this fall doesn’t have to mean a return to behavioral problems. That’s thanks to a new book based on the breakthrough workshops of Live It Like You Mean It, which has successfully implemented positive-behavior workshops in dozens of Cincinnati-area kindergarten through third-grade classrooms.
Now, Mr. Emotions & Friends, just published by Outskirts Press, brings the power of these workshops to any parent, teacher or counselor of young children. This simple yet effective program helps kids develop their coping, social and conflict-resolution skills through engaging lessons, dynamic interaction, music and—most fun of all—puppets.
Written by Live It Like You Mean It co-founders Glenna S. Edwards and Karen Henriques, the book packs 10 easy-to-implement workshop outlines as well as all necessary handouts. With titles like “I Am Important,” “I Use Words that Help” and “Wait! Stop to Think,” the curriculum tackles self-esteem, decision-making, self-control, kindness and much more. Those who purchase the book will receive a free music CD of Mr. Emotions & Friends songs. And the use of the lovable Mr. Emotions puppet (easily created with a sock or paper bag), catchy songs and crafts guarantee kids will be engaged—even as they pick up strategies empowering them to become self-leaders.
In fact, data shows students who complete the workshop series score an average of 97 percent on a post-test designed to assess their understanding of key concepts. That means fewer behavioral problems in class, on the playground and at home—and more success in academics.
Mr. Emotions & Friends is now available through Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and the online bookstore of Outskirts Press, at outskirtspress.com/store.php.
