There are also useful tips for parents and teachers as well as handy charts and checklists to track progress." - BOOK JACKET This book, written for 7-14 year olds, is in two parts; the first is for the kids and the second for the adults. The kids' part has a great range of exercises that a child can do when they are feeling slow and tired, fast and emotional or fast and wiggly. Each exercise is marked with a symbol to help the child recognise which feelings it will help regulate so that they will feel "just right". Each exercise comes with an explanation of why it is beneficial, directions on how to do it and a helpful illustration. The adults' section is aimed at parents and teachers.

While this is not the most attractive book for children, and has far too may exclamation marks!, it looks like it will be a practical and easy to use resource for home and school.
