What's included

Positive Kids Adventures: Embracing the Magic of Energy

This is a children's book that introduces the concept of energy and emotions in a fun and engaging way. The story follows a cast of characters, each representing a different emotion, as they navigate various situations. Through their adventures, children learn how to identify their emotions, understand how they affect their energy levels, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.

Colorful Posters for the Classroom or Home

These colorful posters are visually appealing and feature the characters from the book. Each poster depicts a specific character along with the emotion they represent. This serves as a visual reminder for children to connect the characters' personalities with the corresponding emotions. By having these posters displayed in a classroom or child’s room at home, they can easily reference them throughout the day to identify their feelings.

Easy Lesson Plans for Teachers and Parents

This component provides a roadmap for adults to guide children through the Positive Kids Energy System. The lesson plans include activities, discussions, and exercises that utilize the book and posters. This empowers parents and teachers to actively engage children in exploring their emotions and developing positive energy management skills.

"Let's work together to nurture emotionally resilient and positive children, ready to conquer the world with confidence."
