The visual of buttons is very helpful and the kids really got the idea." - SF Midwest Teacher, "Pause Power" is a clever book that conceptualizes our emotions taking over with actual buttons being pressed. Easy to employ strategies will help students learn to stop, calm down, and think when faced with common triggers.
