My Actions Matter: A Book on Life Values - Paperback

by Kayla J. W. Marnach (Author)

My Actions Matter helps children learn life value skills, creating a foundation on how they can connect with others. Told through rhyme from a child's point of view this book provides strategies for the child to learn how their actions influence others. The questions at the end of the book provide an easy transition for counselors and parents to open a discussion assisting the child in exploring ways they can effectively correct their behavior and connect with others. In my professional counseling, I encourage caregivers to use My Actions Matter as a part of their everyday interaction. Kayla has written an easy to use tool that is foundational in implementing life value strategies for children and their ability to connect with others. With the sing-song rhythm and diverse characters, children can relate to and understand that their actions do matter. The Behaviors Display a Need and Explorations and Activities sections add a dimension making My Actions Matter a complete tool for caregivers to use easily, effectively, and with confidence. I delight in reading My Actions Matter in session and with my own children. - Brandi Winters, LCSW
