Superflex Takes on Glassman and the Team of Unthinkables
In this teaching cartoon book, the superhero, Superflex, swoops down to help Aiden overcome the Unthinkable, Glassman (who causes our over-reactions to small things), at just the right time: the first day of school! This very popular book works well with K-5 (Age 5-11) children.
Superflex shows elementary school age children how they can use strategies to conquer their own "Team of Unthinkables," including Glassman and other characters. In the process, students learn to calm Glassman and learn ways to assess the size of problems and other issues. As children face Glassman and other Unthinkables, they build up and learn to flex nimble, new mind muscles -- thinking skills that help them manage and work on the thoughts and behaviors that may be causing them problems.
The step-by-step strategies and lessons in this book guide children, with their teachers and parents, through a full "training session" in their own Superflex academy. Quizzes and tip sheets are built into the book. By teaching children to explore the differences between Superflex and their own motley crew of Unthinkables, they can better understand and modify their behaviors and, as they progress and graduate from the academy, see the rewards of doing so!
