What's New at SENDinMama
'Big Feelings, Little Books'
November's theme: Rest and Recovery
Our carefully curated list is full of picture books to help children navigate everything from moving home, starting school, seasonal shifts, and daily routines.
Each month, I put together a themed book list with:
- Titles for every age group (3–6, 5–9, 9–12, and teens)
- Explanations of how each book supports emotional regulation, understanding, and coping
- A focus on children who are SEND, neurodiverse, or trauma affected, though they’re perfect for all children!
These lists are designed to guide conversations, validate feelings, and support gentle transitions at home, in school, or therapy.
This Month in HomeEd
November - 'Fire'
Spark curiosity this November with our Fire-themed EYFS Home Education Pack!
From campfires to fireworks, children will explore the warmth, danger, and wonder of fire through sensory play, storytelling, science, and safe, creative activities designed to ignite learning.
