Overview

Dr. Pierre Janet (Dr. J) visits today in a time-traveling hot air balloon. In 1871 he was an eleven-year-old child living in Paris, France, during a time of war. Despite this adversity, he cultivated some creative coping skills and grew up to become one of the most influential psychologists of all time. His evidence-based interventions are still used today. In the book, Dr. J and Dr. A take eight children on a field trip through nature, where they learn the importance of connection, creativity, and resilience. Along the way, they forge new friendships and are inspired to create fun new ways to handle big feelings. The book teaches readers how to use their inner resources and words to develop tools and stories that can help lessen the effects of childhood stressors and help them heal and thrive. Bubbles, Balloons and Birds is book two of a Psychological Book Series for Latency Age Kids (ages 6-12) and Their Caregivers. These books are designed to be read by both parent (or caregiver) and child. The parent can read the book to the child, or they can read them separately and have a family book club-type discussion. This has multiple benefits, including: - Parents and children can improve their communication skills and strengthen their attachment bonds. - Childrens' experiences and feelings will be heard, normalized and validated. - Parents can help children practice the social-emotional skills they learn.
