KiDS HERO BOOK SERIES

Kids experience anxiety and worries just like the rest of us. As a clinical psychologist, I’m excited to have created a book series that gives children the tools required to help them build resilience through the story characters and practical strategies and exercises. This can all be done in ways that speak directly to them, in their own language, through the story characters and practical exercises that I’ve created in my Kids Hero Book Series.

– Dr. Susan Hunt, Registered Psychologist

KiDS ViEWS

DiD A FAiRY DROP THiS?

This is the question six year old Oliver asked when he held up his big cousin’s ring for an inspection at a recent family dinner.  Always precious and often profound are the questions our youngsters pose to us. This is why we have decided to include questions and answers like these from the youngest minds in our KiDS ViEWS features. Our very first story came to me unexpectedly, in the living room at my in-laws during family time. I couldn’t pass up on this opportunity, and here’s why. Soon afterwards, six year old Oliver had another darling question that he also posed to us adults in the room before dinner (me included). The more we thought about it, the more profound we realized my nephew’s question really was. So much so that I reached for a napkin to write it down. Here it is, along with a drawing he created about this afterwards.

MOVIE REVIEW – SIMON BIRCH

 

Written by Kennedy, Grade 7 Student, Beach Grove Elementary
Simon Birch is a little boy who strongly believes he has a purpose. He teaches everyone who watches that even the most unlikely people can become heroes if they believe in themselves. Simon always puts others before himself and doesn’t care what anyone else says about him.
I liked that the movie was funny, but at the same time you learned something. My favourite character was Rebecca because she was always sweet and caring for everybody. There were some sad parts and also lots of suspense. Although it has some sad parts, I think that those parts play a big part in the outcome of the movie. I would not change anything about Simon Birch.

QUESTION FOR PARENTS by Sammy, 11 year old girl

When I want to stay up past my bedtime why do you sometimes say yes and then sometimes change to no? Like when I want to stay up an extra half an hour?  You always do that. And it’s not fair. You only say yes when you are not tired. But what if I am not tired?  Written by Sammy who is an 11 year old girl.

 

ANSWER FOR SAMMY’S QUESTION by Lola, 34 year old mother of 3.

Sammy. I understand how confusing and I guess, frustrating it must be to receive different answers at different times from your parents. Speaking as a mother who has been asked the same questions, I can tell you that I do the same thing, and the reason why is because sometimes it’s appropriate and sometimes it’s just not. Sometimes we have to consider the entire family and what’s going on in the entire house before we can give you our final answers and it might take us parents longer to decide and sometimes, when it’s an easier day, the answer is more obvious to yes, and more likely to be a yes.   It sounds like it might be easier if it’s always the same rule during the week. Answered by Lola, 34 year old mother of three.
