Description
About the Book
An introduction to the concept of energy management for neurodivergent children, told through a rhyming story based on the child-friendly concept of battery packs and with warm, engaging illustrations.Book Synopsis
My Body's Power Pack uses elements of neuroscience to help children understand why their energy ebbs and flows, and why this may cause dysregulation. It provides gentle neuro-affirmative coping strategies, including the basics of energy accounting (which is like the popular 'spoons theory' for adults).
The story arc introduces the idea of Dremlins (drainer gremlins, who 'drain' a child's energy) as a metaphor for tough events. The book empowers children with language to understand their experiences, offers suggestions on what the child can do to cope, and offering advice and support for parents and carers too.Review Quotes
A delightful read for children, parents and professionals! This richly illustrated and hilarious book explores the important topic of energy awareness and regulation in an affirming and inclusive way.--Monique Mitchelson, Autistic and ADHD Clinical Psychologist, Author, Co-Host of The Neurodivergent Woman Podcast and Co-Director of Divergent Futures
Supporting children with energy accounting from a young age is vital for future well-being and thriving. I love how this book normalises this need and offers language that is both accessible and relatable to children and adults alike. This is a great resource for introducing young children to understanding self, recognising their body signals and endorsing self care.--Jodie Clarke, author of Stop the World I Want to Get Off
