Review Susan Conroy, Ph.D. Principal & Music Teacher Flustered Without Mustard sets a stage for discussion with kids of any age - 1 to 100. While the clever topic of mustard on a hot dog is quite simple, discussion on the range of reactions is not simple. Finding ways to resolve conflicts causing anger or frustration are as important as reading and math, for if emotions are not successfully mastered, success in academics will be hampered and relationships will struggle. Sara Lamar, Licensed School Counselor, CO I am always looking for new and creative ways to advocate for and support my students. The moment I finished reading Flustered Without Mustard I knew that I had found a gem that will be in my toolbox for many years to come! We all have those days where unexpected challenges could derail our hopes and our goals, and we all react to stress in different ways. It shows that we can all make mistakes and overcome them with positivity, growth, and resilience. This is a wonderful book for all ages, and I will definitely be incorporating it into my school counseling curriculum as well as reading it with my family. Minda Morren López, Ph.D. Culture, Language, & Literacy, Associate Professor of Literacy, TX As a mother, teacher, and teacher educator, I will use Flustered Without Mustard as part of guiding children through understanding and naming emotions, and responding in healthy ways to the messiness of life as we go through it. Sophie Bloch-Miller, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, OR Flustered Without Mustard does a lovely job of introducing and modeling coping skills for managing emotions, while considering the harmful impact to self and others when we simply react, rather than self-soothe and regulate our emotional response. It provides examples of somatic coping skills of deep breathing, and social and cognitive coping to help redirect ones focus from the distressing event to more positive points of focus. This book is a great resource for the classroom, the therapy office, or the home. Its a tool to help children normalize their own emotional experiences as well as the range of choices they have to build healthy character and emotional well-being. Sonia Fuderer, MA Literacy Interventionist, KY In a time when mindfulness is making its way into classrooms around the world, Flustered Without Mustard shows children the tools they need to handle varying emotional situations in a kid-friendly, beautifully illustrated book that will foster beneficial conversations. Dale Payson, Artist & Childrens Book Illustrator, NY I have to say I LOVE the illustrations in Flustered Without Mustard! They are so honest, delightfully childlike, and heartwarming. I truly believe people of any age will connect favorably to it! Kathleen T. Pelley, Childrens Author, CO A fun fable for kids and adults that shares some great insights on how to cope with anger and frustration by tapping into our inner light and strength. This would make a great introduction to meditation and mindfulness for kids (and maybe some adults too). It is certainly a welcome tonic for our world today as we strive to teach children kindness, and how to get along with each other despite our differences. Becky Thornburg, MA Teacher & Principal, CO Life is a series of challenges and reactions. Each choice offered in Flustered Without Mustard is worthy of discussion between parent and child or teacher and students. Dont stop with discussion. Encourage activities: art, posters, dramatics, writing more stories!
