This podcast is about how to use children's books to help build a child's confidence and grow their social, emotional, and intellectual capacity as they navigate life's ups and downs. Each week I will spotlight book titles and offer activities that you can use to spark conversations and support the development of your child's social emotional learning (SEL) and emotional regulation (ER). You can expect to hear about current and classic stories that will serve to support children's mental health. Be prepared to hear wisdom and insights as we build community, and share our understandings of being passionately curious and creatively conscious human beings. Using books as the vehicle, we can change the world, one child and one book at a time.
