Why we love it
We love this book because it addresses the challenges children face when trying to meet their sensory needs in school, a setting that often feels overwhelming. By normalising stimming and trial-and-error learning, it offers valuable insights for children who struggle with emotional regulation. Kids who rely on sensory tools or feel misunderstood in the classroom will see themselves in Emerson’s journey, making it an empowering and relatable resource. It's also perfect for caregivers and teachers seeking to foster empathy, offering strategies for supporting children in managing their stims effectively and comfortably.
Ways To Play
Self-Reflection and Discussion
After reading, encourage the child to identify their own "stim solvers" and "stim fails." This opens up conversations about what helps them feel regulated and how they can use these tools in different settings like school or home.
Role-Playing
Act out different sensory scenarios from the book, where the child can practice using various coping tools to handle sensory overwhelm, allowing them to explore and develop strategies in a safe space.
Create a Stim Toolbox
Use the story as a guide to help children build their own sensory toolbox, filled with items that help them self-regulate and meet their unique sensory needs.
