Amazing Me, Amazing You – from autism ambassador, Christine McGuinness

Product Information

We speak about the self-care practices we have in our own lives, including journalling, self-observation and paying attention to our breath as well as trusting how our body is feeling. I might not like gritty sand or scratchy labels, busy places or messy tables, but with … a quiet walk …a gentle smile …and some time alone for a little while … I can be amazingly me – just like you. The words we choose to speak to one another have the power to harm or deepen our relationships with our loved ones.

Our programmes teach and embed transferable emotional literacy skills that are vital in both class and life. All of a sudden, instead of ‘giving out’ (in my head) about the person, I make space to IDENTIFY how I’m feeling, which helps me CLARIFY what I need, and then MOTIVATES me to take loving action for myself. The perfect picture book celebrating all children - everyone is unique,and it's that uniqueness that makes us all special! In this first children's book from autism ambassador, Christine McGuinness shows just how important it is to embrace diversity and inclusivity while highlighting just how much it means to accept one another, just as we are with all the uniqueness that makes us special. This is a great title to support parents and carers in approaching the topic of neurodiversity, providing an accessible device for talking about some of the problems neurodivergent children may face.Hello, I’m Hannah and I create illustrations because pictures can evoke an emotional response in someone. We share how the challenges of parenting continue to change as our children grow up, and how choosing to parent with trust instead of fear is an ongoing practice. Polly Crosby tells ReadingZone about her novel, This Tale is Forbidden (Scholastic), a fractured fairy tale set in a dystopian world. Deirdre encourages anyone with mental health concerns to create safety for themselves, through the support of others, and how finding the therapist that suits you, with whom you feel safe, seen and heard without judgement can be life-changing.

years ago I signed up for a Parenting course, only realising on day 1 that I had signed up for a ReParenting Course! Candy Gourlay introduces Wild Song, her companion novel to Bone Talk, in which Luki and Samkad leave their home in the Philippines for America.

Illustrations can change a person’s feelings and in turn their lives and I believe this is so powerful. Then I was introduced to LISTENING to UNDERSTAND and it changed the way I am in conversations, lots of the time (not all the time, I am still very much practising).

Whenever I remember to PAUSE and LISTEN FULLY and LISTEN to UNDERSTAND, I am always in awe of the direction the conversation takes as it becomes a deeper, more loving, more authentic connection every single time.I might not like gritty sand or scratchy labels, busy places or messy tables, but with a quiet walk, a gentle smile and some time alone for a little while . The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. minute Explorer session webinars cover the approach, framework, SEMH implementation, impact measure tools and supporting resources. Through these practices, we can build a solid self-loving foundation upon which we can develop loving and respectful relationships. The book also contains information at the back of the book to help parents teach their children about neurodiversity.
