My Body Has Big Feelings Movement Break Book | ADHD Sensory Self Regulation SEL

About this book

One move on every page, for the body that just cannot sit still. Some children are told to settle down, sit still, be less. This book says something different. A busy body is not a bad body. It just has a lot of go, and go needs somewhere to go. Mia shows little ones simple, physical ways to move big energy through their body and out, one move per page, made for the moment a body cannot wait. Designed for ages 4 to 8, and especially for ADHD, sensory seeking, and always moving children. ⭐ THE SIMPLE ROUTINE Read it first when everyone is calm. When a body gets buzzy, open to one move and do it together. Let the child pick what works. One move per page, no overwhelm. ✅ WHAT IS INCLUDED 30 gentle illustrated pages, one movement strategy on each A How to Use guide written for teachers and therapists My Move-It Plan, a checklist children circle to name the moves that work for their body A celebration page to close the book Soft, low stimulation artwork made for sensory sensitive children Print once and laminate for your calm corner, or display and read aloud 🌟 WHY MOVEMENT, NOT STILLNESS Most regulation resources ask a busy child to stop. A body full of go cannot stop on request, and being told to try teaches a child that their body is a problem. This book gives the energy a destination instead. Run, push, carry, crawl, hang. That is the difference between a book about behavior and a book a child can actually use. 🏆 A PLAN THEY OWN The book ends with My Move-It Plan, where children circle the moves that work for their body. They leave with a tool they helped build, not a rule they were handed. 🌈 THE 16 MOVEMENT STRATEGIES Children practice: run fast, jump up high, dance it out, stomp like a dinosaur, push the wall, carry something heavy, crawl like a bear, hang and stretch, squeeze a pillow, spin in a circle, climb up high, do one thing at a time, take a body break, chew something crunchy, rock back and forth, and tell my grown up. Concrete and doable, never clinical. 🎯 SKILLS THIS BUILDS Noticing a busy body as the energy rises Naming what the body needs Self regulation through movement and heavy work Body awareness and sensory self advocacy Asking a trusted adult for a movement break 🧠 PERFECT FOR Calm down corners, movement and brain breaks, SEL time, morning meeting, small group counseling, occupational therapy, sensory diets, special education, ADHD support, homeschool, and co regulation with a caring adult. 📏 STANDARDS Supports CASEL competencies for Self Awareness and Self Management. 💡 THE CALM LEARNING APPROACH Simple, calm, screen free learning.
