Book Two in the Series!
Life is supposed to be fun! But does your child’s anxious thinking and emotions get in the way of their ability to enjoy the moment?
The best gift we can give our kids is teaching them how to release heavy emotions!
The Heart & Mind adventures continue! Children will be introduced to a new friend, Awareness, a superhero flashlight who teaches them how to release emotions like anger, sadness, and fear.
They will learn that these feelings come and go, like clouds in the sky and the steps to take when they experience a heavy emotional “cloud.”
The goal of this book is to introduce the concept of awareness and how it can be used in everyday life. When awareness grows, and we become conscious of our emotions, we are more able to transcend behaviors that cause ourselves or others to be hurt.
Children will learn that their awareness can help them see that there is nothing to be afraid of and nothing wrong with them for experiencing feelings.
The book includes engaging exercises and discussion questions, and will help your child:
-
Increase self-awareness.
-
Become more emotionally resilient.
-
Instill self-compassion.
-
Attune to their feelings.
About the Author
Hi, I’m Nishi.
I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Michigan and a master’s degree in public health from the University of Illinois of Chicago. I’ve worked with various nonprofits on bettering communities for over ten years and currently serve as the director of the Lively Community Foundation, an organization dedicated to uplifting the wellness in the world.
Inspired by my work with children through teaching yoga, I created Joy Parade, an online space dedicated to teaching children and their caretakers how to bring presence into their day-to-day living. I wrote my first book, A Friendship Story: Heart & Mind, to introduce the lesson of presence so that anyone can live a more balanced and joyful life. My second book, Heart & Mind: Meet A New Friend, focuses on releasing heavy emotions by becoming more aware of our feelings.
Keep reading about how I went from idea to a published book!
