Pediatric Practices and Therapy Teams
Offered strictly as shared story language alongside professional work, never as a protocol and never as any part of treatment.
Built on Ellis Abel and the Red Block — “Big feelings. Small choices. Real accountability.” A character series, not a curriculum with a worldview attached.
The five sessions
- Session 1
Read the story and stop at the moment the feeling takes over
- Session 2
Name that feeling out loud, in the child's own word for it
- Session 3
Find the exact second Ellis Abel chooses instead of reacts
- Session 4
Each child names one thing that is theirs to own this week
- Session 5
Build the small routine, then use it the next time it is hard
Questions leaders ask
Is pediatric practices and therapy teams in your area a religious program?
No. Ellis Abel is a character series. Each volume carries one named core value — this one is accountability — and the story does the teaching. There is no doctrine in it, nothing to opt out of, and it is used in public schools, libraries and secular programs as readily as anywhere else.
What ages does this work for?
Ages 3-11. The story is read aloud, so a child who cannot read yet is fully in it, and the discussion prompts are written in two bands so one adult can hold a mixed-age room.
How does this fit alongside the work your area professionals already do?
As shared language, not as treatment. It is a character story with a routine attached — nobody is assessed, diagnosed or scored in it — so it sits beside your own practice rather than claiming any part of it.
Can we use it with families as well as children?
That is where it works best. The take-home page gives a caregiver the same words the child heard, which is usually the missing half.
The rules that make it work
This is a character story, not a behaviour plan
Ellis Abel is a core-values series. No child is assessed, scored, diagnosed or labelled anywhere in it. It gives a room shared language, and it stops there.
Big feelings are not misbehaviour
A four-year-old at full volume is not defying anyone. Treating the feeling as an offence teaches a child to hide it, which is the opposite of the skill.
Name first, always
Every attempt to fix a feeling before naming it fails, and it fails loudly. The order in the book is the order in the room.
Ownership is small and specific
"Be responsible" means nothing at four. One job, done alone, every day, means everything, and it generalises on its own.
Adults go first
The adult naming their own feeling out loud in front of the child does more work than any session. Children copy what they see under pressure.
Routines beat reminders
A routine a child can recite is theirs. A reminder an adult repeats is the adult's, and it has to be repeated forever.
