Watch me bloom when I have big feelings: A coping story for children with autism on how to manage emotions, practice social skills and navigate big feelings.: 1 (Daily Bloom coping stories)

My daughter has ADHD and the book aims at autism. I find the take the time to stop and think aspect of the book. She never knows when to stop. I have ried mindful yoga, breathing exercises, counting and patience etc but separate she struggles to focus on them all together. I find this book fun and we actually put the book and she stops and thinks about all the aspects, stop, calm, breathe, quiet, think, calm. I say what would buddy say and she responds as she has great imagination. It's a handy helpful tool to add to my words of suggestion. We had someone help with emotional control who suggested a snow globe as emotions, when we are frustrated we are like a shook up snow globe, so we have to wait for the glitter to settle. Along with calming out glitter and buddy the elf's big emotions help, we stop, think and try to assess before we have a larger melt down. On its own it's an insistful story. I like this book as an adult and recommend this. We will be looking into the other stories in this series, mainly learn to share and learn to wait but there is also make new friends in the series.

This book has been so helpful to our 6 year old. Helping him understand himself and the feelings he struggles to explain. Lookin at purchasing other books under this author.

My autistic grandson loves this book. His mother has bought others in the series since.

The number of times an autistic child becomes overwhelmed daily depends on the child. Every autistic child is different and the reasons they become overwhelmed are also different. The techniques in this book will be valuable to some. What struck me about the techniques was that they could be used by any child who has a propensity to be upset by loud noises, too many people, or too much activity. Teaching children to self-regulate and recognize situations where they could apply breathing techniques or take themselves out of a situation is very important.

Although My son paid full attention to this story and remember it, he is unable to utilise the method yet, am sure it will work for others. One downside I should mention is that he now wants a toy that looks exactly like Bud which does not seem to exist ha.

Great product great service

The media could not be loaded. My son said its super great. He feels happy now . He wanted to leave a wee video for other kids to watch

My son really responded to this, despite it being an imaginary friend based which I thought my child with autism may struggle with but he’s really got into it. Not quite reflected in his behaviour but he’s been telling me he can do this technique

Cute meaningful book!

This heart warming children's book on autism beautifully promotes empathy and understanding, skillfully imparting essential coping skills. Featuring vibrant illustrations and a relatable storyline, it opens a window into the unique world of individuals with autism, fostering acceptance and celebrating differences. It proved to be an ideal choice for my nephew, who has ADHD and often faces challenges in regulating big emotions. He spent all of Christmas Day practicing and teaching his cousins all about his new “calm down strategies”.As a fellow BCBA, it’s nice to see other BCBAs writing children’s books that are so relatable to our day to day lives. Hope this author has more books on the way :)

It explains a lot my son did like this book

This is an inspirational and practical book for children with autism written by a board-certified behavioral analyst. The story has a relatable protagonist, Noah, who gets practical advice on coping with Bud The Blossom Buddy. The coping exercises cover various stressful everyday scenarios, and the reader can see how they are done and what they can accomplish. The lovely illustrations help one follow along.

The media could not be loaded. Daily Bloom did an amazing job at incorporating social-emotional learning within their book series! This book is essential for all children who struggle with managing their emotions and coping with big feelings. I love the illustrations and characters such as the Bloom Buddy! Must read for all children!
