“Dancing With Your Lizard Brain” is focused on helping children between 4 and 10 learn how to deal with deep emotions like fear, hurt & anger by using simple language and artwork to teach them how to recognize these feelings and cope with them. The book delivers messages aimed at improving self-regulation skills and understanding that these emotions are shared by everyone, and that part of getting older is learning how to deal with them. Taming the lizard brain represents the process of putting feelings into words that they can articulate, particularly to themselves. Coping techniques are discussed and shown making this is a perfect book to read with children, especially when they’re upset.
