How to Train Your Amygdala Bilingual Calming Kit

Support children’s social-emotional growth and mindfulness skills with a developmentally appropriate, hands-on calming kit inspired by the wonderful, kid-friendly book How to Train Your Amygdala! Created in collaboration with the book’s author, Anna Housley Juster, PhD, LICSW, a child and adolescent mental health clinician and early childhood education consultant, the bilingual kit focuses on a child’s amygdala as it is portrayed in the book—to help children understand their bodies, practice impulse control and boost self-regulation. From a soft, textured sensory friend to a hands-on emotion slider, a super-engaging sensory viewer and a fun-to-press fidget popper—the kit includes a variety of materials all designed to make complex concepts related to brain function super-accessible for kids, helping them learn about breathing techniques, relax through pretend play, put their feelings into words and so much more. We’ve even included a hardcover copy of the book…an 11″ x 17″ poster featuring at-a-glance tips to help children train their brain’s amygdala over time through repetition…and an activity card packed with ideas for using the materials—all in English and Spanish. Colors and components may vary.
