Clarinda Cloud Shares a Video Promoting Art Therapy

     Hello everyone.  When I have different feelings, I change different colors.  But, most boys and girls don't change colors with their feelings.  And, they may not know how to express their feelings.  
     That is one reason that my book is so important.  My book is a way to help teach young boys and girls to name and share their feelings.  You can start all kinds of nice talks about feelings with my book?  You can talk about how your face looks when you feel a certain feeling.  Or, you can ask what makes each other what makes you feel certain feelings.
     Sometimes, children have a hard time sharing their feelings.  They might be too scared to tell someone.  Or, they might not know what they feel or how to say it.
     Some people use art therapy to help share their feelings.  That is when you use drawing, painting, molding clay, or something like that to help share your feelings.  Here is a video to help explain it.  It is probably better for the adults out there to watch the video, because it can be hard for kids to understand.  But…kids can watch it too.  There is nothing bad in it or anything like that.
     Taylor Freeman is not only an art therapist.  She is also an author, like Jodi Desautels.  Very cool!

Clarinda Cloud Shares a Video By Barbara Lester about Teaching Children with Autism to Express Feelings

     Hello everyone.  Today, my author has a treat for you.  Jodi Desautels found a video with Barbara Lester on teaching children with autism how to express their feelings.  Isn't that exciting?  I am turning all purple as we speak.  Yes, that means I am feeling excited.
     You know that I like to talk about sharing feelings.  I think my books, "Clarinda Cloud" and "Clarinda Cloud Activity Book" would be great to use in  helping children  with autism and all young children express their feelings.
     Barbara Lester is a clinical social worker who works with children with autism.  One of the things she says that will help is to draw pictures of different emotions.  That is exactly what some of the activities in "Clarinda Cloud Activity Book" involves.  Yay!  She also says that it would be good to show the children pictures of faces that show different emotions.  Wow!  That is what is in my book, "Clarinda Cloud."  I have different feelings and my author/illustrator (Jodi Desautels) drew me with different faces.

Clarinda Cloud Feels Many Feelings Today and Free Books on Kindle

     Hello everyone.  I feel many feelings today.  But… I share my feelings, so I always feel better.  Do you share your feelings?
     This will be short.  My author, Jodi Desautels, has been feeling tired and a little sick.  I feel sorry that she isn't feeling better.  That is one of my feelings.  Do you know what color I turn when I am feeling sorry?
     I am also feeling excited!  (Do you know what color I turn when I am feeling excited?)  My author said that my book, "Clarinda Cloud" is free today and tomorrow on Kindle.  Jodi Desautels says that one of her other books, "Johnny's Adventure Makes Reading Fun" is also free today and tomorrow on Kindle.  She said that both of our books have some really good reviews and that means that people like the books.  (If you get my book, you will be able to answer my questions about what colors I turn when I am feeling different feelings.)  If you get the books and like them too, maybe you can write a review too!  That would be nice of you!
     Do you know what?  I am feeling proud too!  (Do you know what color I turn when I am feeling proud?)  My author said that she has been working very hard on her websites and practicing her illustrating skills.  Please explore her author site at www.AuthorJodiDesautels.com and her education site (DUO Education) at www.DUOEducation.com.  She said she has been doing a lot of work on DUO Education lately. 
     Oh, and I think she is proud of me too.  She sometimes calls me "her star."  And, she talks about me all the time.  Today she talks about me on "Grace & Faith 4 U."  (That is someone else's site.)  I think she said it is called an "interview."

Clarinda Cloud Talks about Understanding a Bully

     Hello everyone.  Just so you don't forget, this is Clarinda Cloud talking.  I am a spokescloud for anti-bullying and bullying prevention issues.  (Boy, those are long words.)  That means that I like to speak up against bullying and try to tell people about it.
     People liked my author's simple drawing last week, so we thought we would show you another one.  You know my author, right?  Her name is Jodi Desautels.
Anyway, this picture is about understanding a bully.  
     Look at the picture.  It explains it.  It says that there are things that bullies usually have in common.  They are things that kind of explain why bullies might do the things they do.  That doesn't make it right.  But…kind of makes it easier to understand.  Like, sometimes a bully is abused at home.  He or she gets hit and called bad names, so he or she turns around and hits and calls other people bad names.
     Sometimes bullies might feel lonely, like they don't get enough attention.  They might not be popular at school.  They might not have many friends.  They might be neglected at home.  So, they do bad things to people.  Sometimes others laugh and that gives them attention or a feeling like they are fitting in.  Or, they get yelled at or told to stop.  This isn't fun, but they are thinking that at least someone is paying attention to them.
     I hope this helps to understand bullies a little more.
