Description
letting go of the familiar and allowing oneself to learn something new can be quite a challenge. In this book - Learning Something New OR Sail to the Ocean, the 9th book in the Jade Life Skills Series, Dad teaches Jade about the skill of learning new things. He takes both Jade and Andy to experience new things and teach them about 'comfort zone' and how one feels when leaving it.
By experiencing new situations, places, and flavors along with telling the kids the story of Disco the fish and his heroic learning quest, Jade and Andy learn the vitally important new skill. The message conveyed in this book is that the 'uncomfortable' feeling that accompanies the encounter with new things won't go away, it's the ability to contain it and hence accept it that enables us to learn new things, to constantly regenerate.
Asaf Shani is an international consultant in the field of confrontational situations. Working with people - worldwide - in the last 20 years, help him gain insights about life skills in general and how to empower one's kids to acquire and use them. This extensive experience along with raising his own two kids (Jade and Andy what else... ) are being presented in the Jade's life skills series in a way that kids aged 3 - 5, 7yrs old kids and even young adults can relate to. Yet, not surprisingly, many parents attest that the books have helped them to understand, and hence, better manage the situation in their life. After all, no one really teaches life skills at school...
The book can very well fit 'I can read level 1' readers and will definitely fall into the 'children's books by age 3 - 5' category. We're being addressed by many readers with the question: does this book is a 'children's feelings books' or a 'feelings books for children' and, to that we answer with a smile: yep! The somewhat strange thing is that most people accept their feelings as given - they miss out on the fact that they control whatever they feel, it's not a given thing - so by realizing the fundamental truth that we decide how life events makes us feel by deciding what would be the 'framing' we give it, a new spectrum of choice opens.
