By Kate OhrtInterest Level: Ages 4 and UpA Note From the Publisher: Not only do rainbows reveal the path to an ever elusive pot of gold, but they also reveal colors of emotion. In The Rainbow Book, Kate Ohrt sheds light on the relationship between colors and the emotions they might inspire. Each page reveals an intricate paper-cut design in a single color, which is set off by an intense black background.
Colors are paired with corresponding emotions, such as, "When I feel RED, I am fiery and bold. " The Rainbow Book culminates with a bright, foldout rainbow that brings together all the colors and emotions in one beautiful display. The Rainbow Book is a great way for children to practice color identification, to discover the emotions associated with various colors of the rainbow, and is sure to bring a smile to the faces of all who come across its colorful cutouts and sincere moments.

Monday, July 18, 2011 Research in Focus: Social-Emotional Learning by Jim Raines, Ph.D. Illinois researchers have conducted a meta-analysis of 213 research studies on social and emotional learning (SEL) over the past 38 years (1970-2007), involving over 270,000 students. They determined that teaching universal SEL had significantly positive results in six areas: social and emotional skills, attitudes toward self and others, prosocial behavior, decreased conduct problems, less emotional distress, and academic achievement. When they compared SEL programs conducted by school-based staff (teachers and related services providers) vs. non-school trainers (university researchers or community consultants), they found that non-school trainers were significantly less effective, producing positive results for only two of the six areas (social-emotional skills and attitudes).

Marshall Elementary School - Small Groups. Emotional Stages of Recovery. We are all different. We all have different family situations, different jobs, different strengths, and different weaknesses. Despite all these differences, there are a number of very common emotional stages that people with a head injury go through. This is based upon my own experience treating patients, but many investigators note similar findings. Confusion and Agitation The first phase that I see people going through is a confusion/agitation phase. Denial The next emotional phase that I see people typically go through is denial.
There are two types of denial. Anger and Depression Denial is a very common problem, but eventually it breaks down. Not all of this anger or depression is due to physical changes in the brain. Testing Phase The next phase almost always follows after a period of recovery and improvement in thinking abilities. Uneasy Acceptance The next phase is what I call uneasy acceptance.

Most family members find the hospital experience a "roller coaster ride through hell. " Their lives are going along fine when suddenly they are told to come to the hospital. The worst thoughts go through their heads and they are very afraid.
This is the place where bad things happen--people get very sick, or die. Making this more frightening is that physicians and nurses often speak in another language. They speak in what I call "medicalese" (like Chinese). For example, people don't have a bruise, they have a "hematoma"--which is exactly the same thing as a bruise. Doctors and nurses are very busy and may be impatient with family members who are not sure of what questions to ask.
First of all, I think it's important for family members to get educated. The typical thing that family members go through is what I call "the vigilance. " Most people who have a head injury have little or very vague recall of their hospitalization. Family burn-out is very common. Main Page || Previous || Next.

Childrens Voice. Addressing Secondary Traumatic Stress Emerging approaches in child welfare By Julie Collins I thought I was doing well as a child welfare supervisor of one of the highest-risk areas in Ottawa, Canada. But that changed when I began having dreams--nightmares, really.
As a manger for a unit of 10 child and family workers, I was struggling with cases that I could not assign. When I finally transferred the last case, I thought the nightmare would end, but it happened again that night. While there has been little research of the effects of exposure to trauma specifically on the population of child welfare workers, a recent survey was done with a sample of workers in the Administration for Children's Services (ACS) office in New York City as part of a collaboration between ACS and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM).
