On his first day of school, Joey has big feelings and zero patience for waiting. His teacher, Miss Patience, is not an octopus-she only has two hands-and she has a better way to support behavior.
My Teacher Is Not an Octopus teaches young learners six practical self-regulation behaviors. Including: follow directions, use words, own behavior, wait and take turns, breathe and calm, and rethink-plus activities.
The art uses layered, mixed-media illustrations-watercolor, collage, ink, and more.

An introduction to the Choice Challenge ™. Six expand each choice. Six more with eighteen activities to help everyone get stronger with practice.
