What People Are Saying About Our Resources...

"Feelings Detective: Noticing The Clues Our Bodies Send is on point for ALL professionals working with children. The experiential adventure allows the child to use their creativity and have fun, all the while learning how to regulate emotions and effectively communicate their needs. The companion videos allow a child to 'replay and repeat' on their own, which is a catalyst for mindfulness. An added benefit is when a parent(s) learns how to emotionally regulate and model for their children, when learning together. Thank you Dane- I appreciate your curriculum to use in my clinical practice, and look forward to teaching these tools, both in office and online (video) sessions."
-Jessica Burkhamer MSW, LICSW, DBTC (Child/Adolescent Psychotherapist, National Speaker, and Author of Before Time-Out...The CHOICES Program)
“This is a really fun way to teach children about noticing, and appropriately responding to, their emotions. I'm a clinical social worker who works with children. Teaching children to pay attention to their bodies, thoughts, and urges is often a major part of what I do as it serves as the foundation for helping them problem solve and manage their behaviors. Children learn best from stories, especially ones that captivate their interests, and Feelings Detective accomplishes that through an action based adventure. This would be a handy book for teachers, therapists, and caregivers to share with young children.” ​
-Eileen H. MSW, LICSW
“I love how easy it is to use […] My students are always quoting the videos”
- Cassandra H. MSC/CCMH, M.Ed.
“Great, fast moving story to build feelings awareness and understanding of body cues! Wonderful and fun illustrations!”
-Alicia Holley MA, LPCC, ATR-BC
As a social worker and parent, I value the way this book lays out a tangible way of exploring feelings. I liked the way the activity at the end highlighted that kids' bodies could respond to situations differently than their peers. I appreciate this person-centered approach for supporting children as they navigate their feelings. I would recommend adding this activity to your “tool kit” for exploring and understanding feelings with children.
-James Ellingson MSW, LGSW
"As a psychologist and mother of two young boys I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting a fun, engaging way to teach kids about emotions, empathy and bodily cues! My 5 year old loved the book so much he wanted me to read it again and again!"
-Nora Durkin PhD, LP
