The Lightbulb Club: Starring...Essie, the Dog Who Learns Self-Control

The Lightbulb Club teaches children about self-control. The book can be used by parents, teachers, and counselors to open the discussion in a fun way for kids! The book includes three dog stories about Essie and his friends Sam Carter and Cherri Chihuahua. Kids love to hear about Essie, a roly-poly puppy who is having all kinds of trouble at school because he hasn t yet learned how to control his body, his words, or his behavior choices. Tapping into basic brain science, mindfulness, and guidelines for kids with their electronic devices, make it a timely resource. For professionals, an implementation guide is included that shows how to use this small group curriculum as a data-driven component of an elementary counseling program. A song about Essie, a brain science interactive poem, directions for creating related board games, and discussion starters are some of the ideas that you will find in the activity guide following each story and inside the included supplemental resources section of the book. What a great way to have the conversation with children about valuable topics that influence personal, emotional, academic, and future career success!
