Kris Downing, LCSW at Just Mind Counseling has a new book coming out. “Tummies Flip, Hearts Skip playfully invites kids’ curiosity about the subtleties underneath big emotions. Kris’ scientific grounding of how a child’s awareness of physical sensations drives their well-being led her to create an appetizing menu of words to understand and describe what’s happening inside. Each page of rhymes is rich with color, motion and fantastic illustrations to match body language with every feeling. Refreshing vocabulary is woven throughout this fun storybook, ending with a splendid glossary. The author goes above and beyond to help children discover, understand and communicate the intricacies of what hurts and what feels good to their grown-ups.” - Maggie Kline, Family Therapist, School Psychologist, Somatic Experiencing Faculty
Author of My Inner Doggie Is Growling, Brain-Changing Strategies to Trauma-Proof Our Schools, & co-author with Peter A. Levine of Trauma through a Child’s Eyes & Trauma-Proofing Our Kids.n
