Overview

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.

Reviews

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
