When T.J. Wray lost her 43-year-old brother, her grief was deep and enduring and, she soon discovered, not fully acknowledged. Despite the longevity of adult sibling relationships, surviving siblings are often made to feel as if their grief is somehow unwarranted. After all, when an adult sibling dies, he or she often leaves behind parents, a spouse, and even children—all of whom suffer a more socially recognized type of loss.

Based on the author’s own experiences, as well as those of many others, Surviving the Death of a Sibling helps adults who have lost a brother or sister to realize that they are not alone in their struggle. Just as important, it teaches them to understand the unique stages of their grieving process, offering practical and prescriptive advice for dealing with each stage.

In Surviving the Death of a Sibling, T.J. Wray discusses:

• Searching for and finding meaning in your sibling’s passing
• Using a grief journal to record your emotions
• Choosing a grief partner to help you through tough times
• Dealing with insensitive remarks made by others

Warm and personal, and a rich source of useful insights and coping strategies, Surviving the Death of a Sibling is a unique addition to the literature of bereavement.

Born with autism, both authors now famously live successful social lives. But their paths were very different. Temple’s logical mind controlled her social behavior. She interacted with many adults and other children, experiencing varied social situations. Logic informed her decision to obey social rules and avoid unpleasant consequences. Sean’s emotions controlled his social behavior. Baffled by social rules, isolated and friendless, he made up his own, and applied them to others. When they inevitably broke his rules, he felt worthless and unloved. Both Temple and Sean ultimately came to terms with the social world and found their places in it. Whether you are a person with autism, a caregiver in the autism community, or just someone interested in an “outsider” view of society, their powerful stories will enthrall and enlighten you.

“Of all the social & coping skills programs we’ve tried, this one is the best.”

- Mrs. Moran, teacher from Norwood, Ohio

Fun, hands-on experiences that help children:

– develop age-appropriate social and coping skills
- improve self-esteem and ability to empathize
- improve self-control and decision-making
- see themselves as a leader in their own lives by making a connection between their decisions in the present and their experiences in the future.

Come see what the excitement is all about. The Mr. Emotions & Friends program has had consistent success improving behaviors and decision-making in young children. Included in this book are outlines for 10 workshops that can be expanded or shortened to meet your needs.

With the Mr. Emotions & Friends curriculum you and your students can enter a world of colorful and friendly puppet stories, catchy and fun songs, role-playing, discussion, story-telling and crafts that transform important life lessons into memorable playful journeys.

This curriculum helps children and educators to begin talking the same language of cooperation (I Use Words That Help), decision-making and self-control (Wait! Stop to Think. I Can Make a Good Choice), self-leadership (I am a Leader), kindness and empathy (Be Kind, We’re In the World’s Family), and self-worth (I am Important).

We have also included tools to document and analyze learning. By using the pre and post questionnaires that we provide, you are able to identify progress empirically. This will allow you to evaluate the areas that have been mastered by your participants and where they need additional help.

The Mr. Emotions & Friends workshops were created by the founders of Live It Like You Mean It, LLC in Cincinnati, Ohio. As is the case with all of their workshops, this curriculum includes valuable lessons from the four principles of self-leadership that they utilize as the foundation of all of their training modules.

- You matter. Be yourself.
- Respect yourself and others.
- Your decisions are your future.
- Have goals and work to achieve them.

This volume presents unique, culturally relevant interventions that can teach coping skills to African American boys with a history of aggression. Stevenson provides the history and current events for readers to understand why these youths perceive violence as the only way to react. Interventions and preventative actions developed in the PLAAY project (Preventing Long-Term Anger and Aggression) are presented. These include teaching coping skills and anger management via athletics such as basketball and martial arts. Frustrations and strengths in those athletics illuminate the players’ emotional lives, and serve as a basis for self-understanding and life skill development.
