Vagus Nerve Deck

Why we recommend this book:
  • Contains suggestions for simple but effective ways to calm or activate the vagus nerve (which helps improve our mood and how our body feels).
  • Provides ways to soothe yourself, or help someone you love when they need support.
  • This is the same deck we often use in sessions – you can now have it at home!

Adulting To-Do Lists

Why we recommend this book:
  • When we start to feel overwhelmed, writing things down can help (it’s often MUCH better than letting things swirl in our head)
  • Electronics can be convenient, but hand-writing information can help improve memory
  • Humor often helps!

Pinwheel

Why we recommend this book:
  • A smartphone for kids and teens with its own operating system, rather than a standard operating system and “parent control app” (that many kids learn to bypass).
  • Pinwheel has no internet browser or social media. Parents approve all contacts, monitor all texts, and decide what apps can be downloaded.
  • Developed by therapists, technologists, and parents.
  • You can add this phone to your existing cellular plan.
