There is a Crab in My Castle!

Jack and his family wake up to stormy circumstances: canceled plans and news of a crab loose inside the castle. Follow Jack as he thunders down majestic hallways, bursts into rooms and travels through his castle on a stormy day —keep an eye out for the crab too!

Engaging and fun, this story features a relatable childhood experience (a day that does not go as planned) which increases both the frequency of opportunity and a child’s ability to recognize similar circumstances in their day-to-day in order to apply mindfulness learning. Jack is on a journey of emotional regulation, met by parents who validate his emotions, offer support but ultimately help Jack name and understand his behavior and the alternative choices he can make by just shifting his mindset. Mindfulness values within this book: self awareness, naming emotions, emotional regulation, reflection, empathy and flowing with the circumstances when they cannot be changed.
Mindfulness is for everyone, It is a tool that strengthens self-awareness, empathy, satisfaction with life and emotional intelligence. Research reinforces the many advantages for children who are raised practicing mindfulness: improved self-control, regulation of emotions, ability to identify strengths, confidence to try new things, reduced anxiety and improved happiness.
