CONGRATULATIONS TO
LAUREN MUNROE ON HER NEW BOOK!!
My Brain is Powerful teaches children about the function of the brain, types of coping strategies, how a doctor can help, and more… Sam is a young boy who struggles with attentional difficulties and regulating his emotions in school. At times, it is hard for Sam to control his body. After talking with his teacher and his parents, Sam sees Dr. Dana who teaches him about his “Powerful Brain”, and the job of a neurotransmitter. To help support Sam, Dr. Dana prescribes him medication and teaches him about his “toolbox” of coping strategies. By normalizing the doctor's visit, Sam feels empowered and equipped to go to school.
"My goal in writing this book is to provide families, clinicians, and educators with a resource that teaches children that their brain can do amazing things and is wonderfully unique. My hope is that by teaching children what tools work for them, they can feel confident and supported learners. Having these discussions with our children is important and I hope this book facilitates a conversation so that each child feels proud of who they are and able to advocate for what they need."
