The collective wisdom contained in this book allows you to look up your personal challenges with children and gives you solid, simple tools and a path that leads to ease and peace in the influence circle with the children you are caring for. Both the adult and the child are considered in loving support. I will not be without it in my practice. I am grateful for this resource.

This resource has been incredibly helpful! It’s practical, simple and helpful to use with kids. It is full of great ideas and worksheets that you can literally tear out and use with your kids or for yourself. Not only that, the activities and worksheets are fun and innovative! I love it and other parents I work with love it too. 5 stars!!!

First time ever reading a book like this on children’s behavior and the strategies to mold them. Skimmed through it. IMPRESSIVE! Cannot wait to share what I learn. If the readers could share the wisdom shared in the book with as many as possible (even if that means translating it in different language), it would make the task of parenting much more manageable and rewarding.

This is a great tool for a child therapist. What I like about this book is that it is divided into presenting concerns (anxiety, trauma, anger & explosive behaviors) as well as 4 different categories of content: activities, worksheets to reinforce activities, inspirations to provide resources, and communications to promote happy and healthy communication. The book has as many parenting resources for therapists to do in sessions with parents as it does parallel activities for the children. The family can work on the presenting concerns together. This is a must have resource!

Working with teens and adolescents at-risk has always pushed me to try different methods to break through the walls and get buy-in. I love that this book has some of the past techniques but has also weaved in some more creative approaches to try.
