Böcker av Gabi Garcia

¡Ayudar a los niños a comprender, identificar y expresar lo que necesitan es clave para la autorregulación emocional! Eso es porque las necesidades y los sentimientos van juntos. Cuando no se satisface una necesidad, surgen sentimientos difíciles. Por otro lado, cuando las necesidades físicas y emocionales de los niños se satisfacen constantemente, prosperan. Las necesidades y los sentimientos no son buenos ni malos. Son partes de nosotros a las que debemos prestar atención. A Veces Necesito... alienta a los niños a hacer eso chequeando con sus corazones, mentes y cuerpos. A veces necesito movimiento. Salto, bailo o corro. Me siento inquieto y tonto, ¡todo es tan divertido!A veces tranquilidad es lo que necesito. Me cansa el ruido. Es demasiado. Me instalo en la quietud, lejos de la multitud. A medida que los niños se vuelven más conscientes de sus necesidades físicas y emocionales, pueden comunicarlas mejor y están facultados para encontrar estrategias para satisfacerlas, especialmente a medida que crecen. A Veces Necesito... es un libro cautivador de imágenes líricos y vibrantemente ilustrado. ¡Es una maravillosa adición a la biblioteca socioemocional de su hogar o escuela!

Helping children to understand, identify and express what they need is key to emotional self-regulation!That's because needs and feelings go together. When a need isn't met, difficult feelings arise. On the other hand, when children's physical and emotional needs are consistently met, they thrive.Needs and feelings aren't good or bad. They're parts of us we need to pay attention to.Sometimes I Need... encourages children to do that by checking in with their hearts, minds, and bodies.Sometimes I need movement-- to jump, dance, or run. I'm squirmy and silly. It all feels so fun.Sometimes I need quiet. I'm done. It's too loud. I settle in stillness away from the crowd.As children become more mindful of their physical and emotional needs, they're better able to communicate them and are empowered to find strategies to get them met, especially as they get older.Sometimes I Need... is a lyrical, engaging, vibrantly illustrated picture book. It's a wonderful addition to your home or school social-emotional library!
