This book guides children through the practice of naming their feelings and the physical sensations that accompany them.
From wiggly and squirmy to rested and still, Listening to My Body helps children develop a "sensations" vocabulary so that they can express what they are experiencing.

Listening to My Body by Gabi Garcia is an interactive and engaging book that teach students about sensations in the body. I am using this book to teach a student to become aware of his/her body and react to the sensation. This book is a very gentle approach to becoming aware of your own feelings. I love that fact that it is interactive, which is particularly helpful for my student who has a short attention span. Engaging activities included feeling your heartbeat for 15 seconds, and then repeating the same activity after jumping down for 15 seconds. Another activity is tracing the lines in your palms to give yourself a tickle sensation. I think this book is a great resource for teachers and students who struggle with regulating sensations in their bodies, but I do believe this book is a little long especially for my student who has a shorter attention span than most.

Very nicely written book about helping children understand their own bodies.

This book describes the feeling people have and reminds them to pay attention to the way their bodies react to certain feelings. Pierce County Library. 1st through 3rd grade
