Creating a safer world for all children
Menu
I would like to acknowledge and honour the creator of the original Protective Behaviours (PBs) program manual, Peg Flandreau West (1928-1991) who was a school social worker from Madison, Wisconsin. The PBs stories and activities in these books and digital activities are based on the themes, core concepts and strategies of Peg Flandreau West’s PBs manual and have been adapted and expanded upon to enhance personal body safety and social and emotional learning.
And the PBs journey continues…
Lottie’s Big Feelings is a story of FEELINGS, FAMILY AND FRIENDS. This first book from the Little Adventurers Series is based on topic one of the Protective Behaviours educational program.
Lottie Lamb discovers that she has big feelings, calm feelings and feelings can change.
Lottie also has a wish for new friends and meets Florence Flamingo, who loves her new fluffy tutu and sparkly shoes. Lottie also meets Kaylo Koala who loves to climb trees and eats fat green leaves.
And one afternoon, Aunty Ewenice visits Lottie and they make a very special ‘happy’ hat together!
Full of adventures, this delightful picture book will take children on a journey to discover everyone has big feelings, and big feelings can change.
The Flashcards activities in the book are also available as a digital download.
