"Wow. That was a BIG Emotion"

The first in a series of Socemo (Social-Emotional) books for adults & children to read together about managing the FULL range of emotions.

"Rude, Mean & Bully. What is That?"

"That was rude." "That was mean." "That was bullying!" "Upstanders, UNITE!"
So many feelings come up when a child comes across social situations that are confusing, hurtful, and uncomfortable.
This book begins an important conversation with young children about how to recognize and what to do when rude, mean, or bullying behavior happens.

"Consent"

A simple title for an often complicated topic. Read what consent is, how to listen for, and how to give an enthusiastic 'yes' or a clear 'no'.

"Hey Friend! Want to Play?"

Sometimes, it is so hard to know how to ask someone to play. Learn what to do and practice together.

She is a talented coach who leads with her heart. Amy has a valuable ability to see both the forest and the trees, from a parent, educator, and child perspective. Amy’s style will make you feel simultaneously respected, nurtured, and understood, and despite smoothly raising two amazing daughters to adulthood, she will never make you feel judged or as if a difficult child is that way because you are parenting the wrong way.

"I was able to immediately bring this tool back to my classroom with fresh insight and a new lens to see each of my students with greater clarity. I am able to see where I fit in and how my preferences inform and sometimes cloud my ability to see the child for who they present at each moment. Powerful!"
