Opal Octopus is Overwhelmed - Ashley (Ashley Bartley) Bartley - Bog

Opal the Octopus wants to be helpful, but because she volunteers for so many things, she finds herself forgetting important responsibilities. With eight tentacles and loads of energy, Opal is the first to volunteer for any project or opportunity. And when she doesn't volunteer, her friends are sure to ask! Opal soon finds herself spending all her daytime hours scheduled, and those hours start to creep into night, too. Her energy drains, and she starts forgetting important responsibilities. Even worse, with her time fully accounted for, the fun things Opal used to enjoy start to feel like chores. What can she do? With help from her mom, Opal learns about a self-care acronym: RESET! Will the RESET reminders, covering everything from rest, to saying no, to taking charge of your own time, help Opal get back on track so she can prioritize the important things, and find joy in her day again? Written for children ages 4 to 10, this fun story includes tips for parents and educators.
