Synopsis

Organized as both a text about self-regulation and a step-by-step, practical guide to developing a program for helping children and adolescents, this text is a valuable resource for counselors, teachers, and behavior specialists. Chapters 1-3 provide research-based information regarding the connections between emotional intelligence, somatic experience, emotional regulation, and relationships and the ability to self-regulate. Chapter 4 Is a how-to for using somatic interventions. Chapter 5 links the concepts of solution-focused therapeutic approaches to the emotional/somatic concepts. Chapter 6 integrates the theory and literature into a model for use in the schools and mental health settings to help children and adolescents regulate their emotions and behaviors. Vignettes and case examples are included. Other features include: Appendix A: Tools - an array of reproducible tools, organized into tools for Assessment, Individual Counseling, Group Counseling, and Crisis Response Appendix B: Activities - many lesson/ activity plans for use in individual and group settings to teach skills for the Caregiver and for the Student in self-regulation (Grounding, Mindful Awareness, and Tracking Sensations) and the CASEL skills areas (Self-Awareness, Social Awareness, Self-Management, Responsible Decision Making, and Relationship Skills).
