Mi Gente Wellness Consulting: My Body Sensations Cards

Mi Gente Wellness My Sensations Cards is an evidence-informed resource designed to help children identify their sensations. As a formal children's and adolescent mental health therapist and somatic practitioner it's important for children to have better understanding of their sensations and develop a mind-body connection.

The 3 Benefits of Children Understanding Their Sensations

1. Better self-regulation: Children learn how to calm their minds by first noticing physical signs like a fast heartbeat and sweaty hands.
2. Building a "body vocabulary": Kids connect feelings to words, such as realizing a tight stomach might mean they feel worried.
3. Self-advocacy: Recognizing internal signals helps children ask for what they need, like a snack, a quiet break, or a deep-pressure tool

Perfect for parents, caregivers, educators, school counselors, social workers, therapists, and mental health professionals.
