We enjoyed the “bite-sized” nature of this book, which allowed out family to complete each activity together as a family in a fairly brief amount of time. Then, build on each activity the next evening. My 11-year-old and 7-year-old both enjoyed the activities, and found them engaging. My wife and I both participated, and also benefited/enjoyed. We liked that there was variety to the activities, which kept things interesting from night-to-night/day-to-day. Highly recommend!
This book is great to purchase as a therapist and add to your collection of other books. It has SEVERAL, well-researched activities to build compassion in children. Also parents and teachers could really get a lot out of this book! Highly recommend!
This workbook is truly needed to help parents, grandparents and teachers who are dealing with children who do not know how to deal with their feelings and act out in ways to get someone’s attention, someone who can help them cope, overcome and thrive. I am passing the book along to others as I hear their concerns for their children.
I wish I’d had this resource as a younger mom. I purchased this for my daughter who nannies and she LOVES it. It’s now a go to tool and a perfect gift for parents and kids.
