Books are not only a great resource for developing reading skills, they are also a fantastic way to help kids develop healthy feelings and relationships. In the coming weeks, the First Book Marketplace will feature a collection of hand-picked books that address key aspects of social and emotional development.
In addition to the books, First Book has partnered with Molina Healthcare to provide helpful resources that teachers and parents can use to tie these engaging stories to healthy living. Teaching kids how to interact with others and manage their own emotions is an essential part of their development, just as important as their intellectual or physical development. These carefully curated books and resources are designed to do just that.
Here’s a sneak peek of the kinds of books and tips you can expect in the collection!
I Can Help by David Hyde Costello
A little duck gets lost until a helpful monkey comes along to lend a hand.
Brainstorm a number of situations that children may find themselves experiencing in which they need to ask for help. Next, identify who are the appropriate people in their family, school or community to ask for help in those situations. Examples could include calling 911 for firefighters in the case of a fire, talking with a teacher or parent for homework help, and visiting a doctor or school nurse if they are sick. This activity can be extended by role-playing. For example, one child can pretend to see a fire and call a firefighter for help. Then another group of children can pretend to be firefighters who come and put out the fire.
My Friend Maggie by Hannah E. Harrison
Paula knows Maggie is a great friend, but when Veronica says mean things about Maggie, Paula doesn’t stand up for her.
Letter writing, even when one doesn’t plan to give the letter to the addressee, can be a great tool for processing feelings and thinking through how to handle a conflict. Have the children write a letter from one of this story’s characters to another (such as from Maggie to Paula), explaining how that character’s actions made her feel. Encourage students to try letter writing (even without giving the letters) when they face conflicts with their friends to help them express their feelings and think through how they would like the situation to be resolved.
For more books and resources from First Book and Molina Healthcare, please visit the health and wellness section on the First Book Marketplace.

| Wait. You're staying how long? |
We Canadians love our summer holidays, and other than major holidays such as Christmas or Thanksgiving, it’s the only time when we can get together with our families and just chill. This begs me to ask the question: Is it possible to write during the summer months? Um. Yeah. It’s a toughie, but I did manage to get
some writing done. And I have been busy editing the second book in my young adult time travel series,
The Last Timekeepers and the Dark Secret. So there’s a thumbs up for that. But when I read a recent post from Mirror World Publishing’s blog entitled
It’s Okay Not to Write, I decided to put aside any guilty feelings of ‘not’ writing regularly in the summer, and just enjoy this hot, sunny season and time spent with my family.
The first Monday in August is our Civic Holiday, which is a roundabout way of saying ‘Public’ Holiday. It’s not a statutory holiday in the province where I live (Ontario), but if your employer is on the generous side, then you can probably book that long weekend away with no problem. The Civic Holiday weekend also marks the middle of summer—halfway to fall and five weeks till school starts. Sorry, kids!
When we lived at our cottage, it seemed like the busiest weekend of the summer, and since we were on a medium-sized lake, you had to take turns going out water skiing or tubing. Our kids usually ambushed visited us that weekend for food and fun-in-the-sun, and somehow they left their children behind. LOL! Thankfully, there was a lot to do around the cottage for the grandkids with swimming, fishing, boating, tubing, canoeing, reading on the beach (yes, I have a few readers), watching movies, and campfires. We found that the week just flew by! I truly miss those days, and I’m grateful for those cottage memories with our family and friends.
Now that we live in the ‘Banana’ belt of Canada (think Florida weather), and farther from some of our family, we see the kids less. Most of the grandchildren have their own lives now. Sigh. The bright spot is we do get to see our youngest grandchild (now ten), and have her for the week of the Civic Holiday. Yay! So I’ve compiled a list of things to do around in this area to keep the little minion busy, happy, and motivated. Read on…
1. Baking with Grandpa (Grandma doesn’t do baking)
3.
Movie night at
Silver City in Windsor; granddaughter’s pick!
7. Heading to my brother’s pool for a swim. Thank God for relatives with pools!
8. Catching up on Disney shows! (Grandpa is looking forward to this!)
9.
Keeping cool at the
Devonshire Mall in Windsor where I’m sure someone is bound to score a gift or two.
Now, if we play our cards right, our granddaughter will look like this each night:
 |
| Nighty, night. Sleep tight. |
I hope you have a safe and happy holiday with your family or friends, and enjoy the rest of your summer! Remember life is short, and no one who is on their death bed says that they wished they could have spent more time at work. Think about it. Relationships truly matter. Cheers and thank you for reading my blog!

Guy and Doll have agreed that Guy will act as Doll directs, and that Doll is entitled to use force or punishment to get Guy to do as she directs if he ever demurs or falls short. Guy has contracted to be Doll’s slave. Such contracts are familiar from fiction and from history; and some people may have familiarity with them in contemporary life. It is common for philosophers to argue that such contracts are impossible.

What happens in our relationships? This is the question that draws people into the profession of couple therapy. Therapists stand outside the couple in order to understand how their relationship systems and unconscious dynamics work. What is it that the couple have created between them? How can you restore the balance within that relationship?

2015, HarperTeen
They are all beginning to converge on one of the most important days of their lives. The month: September. The place: high school in the small town of Hankinson. The event: freshmen orientation...
Gregor is the quiet one. He has a close-knit family and an older sister in high school who dispenses advice which may or may not be the best (you know how siblings are). His best friend Dinky, whose nickname suits him, carries the excitement for both of them. And although Gregor isn't enthused, he knows this is the day which will usher in the next four crucial years.
Zoe left beautiful Los Angeles to live with her aunt in Hankinson, New York. Totally out of her realm, Zoe must make the best of it while her famous actress mother goes through yet another stint in rehab. She knows nothing about her aunt, except the sisters don't get along, and she isn't told why. She's not looking forward to going to freshmen orientation, especially since everyone's seen the infamous video of her and her mother....
Jake has mixed feelings as well about becoming a high-schooler, especially after what happened last year. His best friend Ted has moved on from him and is the guy all girls want to date - handsome, athletic, popular. The problem is, Jake let him know how he felt about him and it changed not only their friendship, but his status in school. Now, the game is to avoid his ex-best friend as much as possible during the next four years.
Whitney bounces and glows wherever she is. Beautiful and popular, she makes friends easily, is involved in all kinds of clubs, and dates guys beyond their freshmen year. The thing is, Whitney doesn't condone bad behavior, especially when her friends are being horrendously rude and because of her morals, she begins to be excluded from things. Four years of icy shoulders is a long time, but can her sunny disposition melt the ice?
Mia dresses in black, wears her hair and make-up dark, and doesn't say much. She is the anti-establishment of her parents and their country club tennis looks and isn't going to change. Four years ahead of her is going to be a long journey, but she's ready for it because she has her endgame in mind- to leave this town as fast as possible.
All five of these teens are thrown together during orientation and are tasked with coming up with a "bonding" project to get to know each other more. They don't run in the same circles, so they come up with the only solution they agree on. Write a letter to their future selves and meet up on graduation day to read them.
And the next four years of their lives begin...
And this is where the reader gets to be the fly on the wall as we watch all five teens change and evolve physically, morally and emotionally. There are turns in the roads for all of them in their personal and school lives. Their lives even weave and intersect at times in very interesting ways. What makes this novel so appealing is the reader will be able to see themselves or those they know in any of the characters and which makes this book become personal...the ultimate nod of an excellent YA novel. As I posted on Twitter, this novel is part Breakfast Club, part St. Elmo's fire, part New Year's Eve. LOVED it!!
Doesn’t it just give you the feels?
