▶What's this impulsivity book for kids based on?
This kids impulse control and children behavior book is written based on the interpersonal biology, attachment parenting psychology, and no-drama discipline and it is written in verse. The story explains the benefits of brain integration and celebrates the role of connection with the primary caregiver. Also, this impulsivity book for kid helps with your conscious parenting effort, by offering a scientific perspective on temper tantrums. The story line supports mindful parenting by explaining what happens during a tantrum.

▶Characters
Wrinkles is an adorable and well balanced elephant, and Flappy is a cute and energetic dragon who live together in wondrous world, filled with mysteries. They are special in their own way and they have super-powers. When the alarm gets triggered, Wrinkles and Flappy get separated, and their mission is in jeopardy.

▶How it works?Through these characters, this story helps children to learn about their brain, to understand their brain dynamic during a challenging situation whey big emotions are involved and a technique of integrating the 'upstairs brain' with the 'down stairs brain' which becomes the brain game for kids calm.
In this book, you will learn the two secrets that brought Flappy & Wrinkles back together, and helped them accomplish their mission.

▶What is the message in this childrens behavior book?A message for the parents: children's brains are developing and during this time, they learn everything, including how to deal with emotions. Learning and growth can only happen once the need for safety is fulfilled.
Big emotions that arise everyday are not a palpable thing, but they are perceived and felt as a very real threat. This is why kids need help in learning how to deal with 'big emotional situations'

▶How can this book help? It is easier for children to create copingstrategies, when they have some practical things to represent abstract notions.So children will get in touch with their more evolved part of their brain,symbolically embodied by Wrinkles; they will get to know his strengths and howto tap into this resource (an oversimplification of the prefrontal cortex).
Second, children will learn that they also hold a marvelous part of the brain, symbolically represented by Flappy, aka the reptilian brain, primarily concerned with survival.
The story line gets them separated (this is when the alarm happens); and this happens to children and parents every day:when leaving the park, when not getting the second ice-cream, when the favorite pajamas are not available etc. You know it! This story gets to see behind the scenes of a temper tantrum. This book will enable you to look at the situation from another angle: the benefits of brain integration. The dialog between Wrinkles and Flappy is intended to create the habit of digging deeper into finding out what happened and telling the story.
Lyrics are a fun way for children remember to 'tell the story' so that they learn to process events and emotions. And the beauty of it all - with practice, Wrinkles only gets stronger, which means your child improves in self-regulation!
