Keeping It Together in a Crazy and Uncertain World (Ages 7-12)

Our world today has become very toxic and the life skill of resilience has never been more needed. It's important that children be empowered with the necessary skills to thrive as they journey through life. Children, just like adults experience emotions and are even more overwhelmed when they don't know how to handle their emotions and those of others. Learning to understand and manage emotions from childhood lays a solid foundation for growing into a healthy, well functioning adult. Children will not always have their parents around, therefore it is important that they learn to self soothe and handle distressing situations. This also helps to develop their self-esteem, as they grow to possess a positive assessment of their skills and capabilities. In this book, your child will learn how to manage four major emotions: Anger, Sadness, Fear and Worry. We would like to encourage that as your child learns to manage these emotions, you reinforce them by acknowledging his/her efforts, as well as modelling healthy expression and management of emotions.
