Flooded: Free Book Give Away!

 

Allison Edwards, author of 15 Minute Counseling Techniques That Work, has delivered another essential guide for school counselors.  Flooded: A Brain-based Guide explains the brain science behind what happens to children when they are emotionally dysregulated.  As school counselors, we see examples of this every day in our schools. This book provides excellent reminders about how trauma impacts not only emotional regulation but learning as well. Allison also shares techniques to use for teaching flooded students how to regulate their emotions.  

 As I was reading this book I thought, what a great tool for a parent coffee talk, faculty presentation, or book study.  Flooded is a short, easy read with powerful information for anyone who works with youth.  Teaching caregivers and educators about brain science, how to identify triggers, and to understand why children can't respond rationally when emotionally charged is a game changer for adults and children. 
This is an important resource for teaching our colleagues and student caregivers how to recognize "flooded" youth and to respond positively with the techniques students need to achieve emotional regulation.

    Glad you found it to be helpful! Teaching kids how to regulate their emotions is a valuable tool they will use the rest of their lives. We think Allison does a great job of explaining how to help them and gives practical tips on what to do when a child is flooded with emotions. Thanks for sharing!

    I help kids who are “flooded” by allowing them time to draw, write, take a walk and do grounding. I also teach them about flower/candle breathing.

    My school houses the districts mee self contained program for kids with behavioral disabilities. They frequently become emotionally dysregulated and I would love to better understand this concept and have resources in my toolbox to support these students better.
