The "My New School" Photo Book is a simple, hands-on activity that children assemble -- and in doing so, prepare themselves to transition to their new school! Based on neurodevelopmental principles, this photo album will give your child a chance to become familiar with the new faces and places at school BEFORE that first day. By the time school begins, new classmates, teachers and the setting will feel more familiar. Right from the start, your child will feel calmer and more confident -- essentially ready to learn! "Security is the key to an optimal learning environment. When a child feels safe she will seek out novelty in motor, emotional, social and cognitive domains. And she will feel more capable of tolerating any distress associated with this novelty. The activation of the stress-mediating neural systems will be perceived as excitement and not threat." Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D., ChildTrauma Academy Each photo album includes specific questions designed to get your child talking about the experience as well as suggested activities to help ease your child’s transition and two articles by Dr. Bruce Perry. The photo book is as much a quick-reference guide for caregivers as it is a fun photo album and keepsake. Order with a disposable camera so that your child can take the photos!
