Self-Regulation & Impulsivity Resources
Self-Regulation & Impulsivity Resources
Impulsivity & ADHD Resources- Impulsivity in children is closely tied to the development of the brain's prefrontal cortex, which governs executive function and self-regulation. Because this area is still maturing, kids often struggle to pause, think about natural consequences, and regulate their immediate emotional or physical reactions.
Tucker The Turtle: Tucker the Turtle is a fun interactive resource created to help children and families learn strategies to work through big feelings like anger. Tucker helps parents and caregivers support their children in learning what they can do to calm their body and emotions down. This user-friendly resource helps teach emotional regulation with a few simple steps. Tucker the Turtle also promotes emotional literacy, problem-solving, and self-regulation in an engaging way. Use the video, scripted stories, and activities linked below to support young children to develop strategies for coping with strong feelings.
The Power To Choose: An Educational and Fun Children's Book Series: The Power to Choose teaches children that no matter what external factors present themselves, it is their choice in how to react; the consequences of the choices we make will shape our days and lives into what they will become. We all make poor choices sometimes. But our ultimate power lies in our ability to choose what’s right over what’s easy, and to constantly seek to improve ourselves and the world around us through the choices we make. These stories help all of us growth, and help us recognize our ability to improve our lives by using the Power to Choose wisely.

Grief Resources
Grief Resources
The younger the child is, the harder it is to explain a topic as complex as death or heaven. Finding the right way to talk to very young children about death, heaven, or suicide can be daunting. We advise parents and guardians to follow these principles: use simple direct language, avoiding euphemisms, tell the truth and acknowledge their feelings while reassuring them that it's okay to be sad.

Childern Books
For children, its hard to express how they are feeling, or they may not fully understand the strong emotions they are experiencing for the first time. Grief in kids may cause a temporary behavioral change. Books can be a great resource for helping parents to explain a loss/death/ and for children to learn to work through their emotions in the wake of their loss.

Personal Space & Body Boundaries
Personal Space & Body Boundaries
The term “personal space” is common, but it’s important to teach kids what exactly it is. Use the following explanations to help your students get a better idea of what personal space is: Personal space is the amount of space someone needs around them to be comfortable, different people feel comfortable with different amounts of personal space. It’s important not to get into someone else’s personal space, and to politely let others know when you aren’t comfortable with how close they are to you. The amount of space someone needs might depend on your relationship to them, and the situation you are in.
