Laura Smith holds Masters degrees in Curriculum & Instruction and in Special Education. She spent 13 years as a certified teacher at the elementary level and is an advocate for special education.
“I created ‘A Children’s Mindset Collection’ of books and programs from my own family’s life experiences and difficulties with mental health,” said Smith. “I am passionate about helping as many children as I can face everyday emotional struggles. What started as support for my own grandson, has grown into a world of characters who can help children of all ages learn coping skills for better lives.”
Smith also pulls from her experience as a trauma-informed certified yoga and social emotional learning facilitator.
“There are many programs and techniques for adults to learn mindfulness skills, but I didn’t see them translated for children,” said Smith. “That’s the impetus behind my mission-based business. Bringing calming instruction to help children feel safe and loved is the driving force behind everything I do.”
“I Am Protected” follows five other books filled with stories of characters facing challenges – and their helpful guides who introduce coping techniques. Children can follow along and practice each technique as adults read the dynamically illustrated, engaging storybooks. Other books in the collection include:
● I Am Loved
● I Am at Peace
● I Am Capable
● I Am Powerful
● I Am Patient & Focused
