Publisher Description
From the author of Just Breathe, Mallika Chopra, daughter of Deepak Chopra, comes a full-color guide empowering kids ages 8-12 to problem solve, harness inner strength, and gain grit and emotional awareness.
Featuring full-color illustrations, Just Feel is an engaging and easy-to-read guide that introduces kids to the building blocks of resilience and grit. The U.S. and other nations are quickly becoming aware of the importance of children's ability to be independent and meet challenges head on; parents are eager for resources that help kids learn how to navigate life on their own. Just Feel is one of the very few books on social and emotional health that speaks directly to kids. Designed specifically with kids ages 8-12 in mind, the book clearly addresses important topics such as flexibility, responsibility, communication, creativity, and self-knowledge. Written by the respected writer and wellness expert Mallika Chopra, Just Feel will effectively teach kids how they can balance their emotions and make positive choices for themselves.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a follow-up to Just Breathe, Chopra, a wellness expert and daughter of author Deepak Chopra, writes an intuitive guide for young readers in search of empowerment as well as greater self-knowledge and self-efficacy. The main idea "If you know how you feel, you can make smart choices and act to create the life you want" is organized into three sections of reflections and exercises: "Know" (one's interior and exterior world), "Choose" (one's outlook, goals, communication, etc.), and "Act" (the expression of the former two). Each exercise comes with a suggested time frame and location. Chopra calls upon the reader to be deliberate and mindful, addressing her young audience respectfully, without condescension. While this resource is aimed at preadolescents, its advice is timeless; caregivers will find much application for themselves. Attractive half-page spreads and spot illustrations break up the text, making for an easily digestible visual experience. Vaughan's digital illustrations mostly depict flat yet appealing portraits of young people of various skin tones engaging in meditative activities, such as reading and making music. A useful self-care resource that offers various strategies and balms for coping with existential growing pains. Ages 8 12.
