This workbook has so many fun and engaging activities, it would make Mr. Rogers and Bill Nye the Science Guy jealous.
Teaching about feelings, communication and coping can be REALLY difficult. Getting young people to engage can also be difficult!
This award-winning counselor has seen this firsthand and has adopted new teaching techniques to help young people. He found that science experiements, magic tricks and creative DIY projects work great to not only get a young person to engage, but also works well at teaching different coping skills.
But it doesn't stop there- this workbook also includes a FREE section for the adult helper AND has interactive video tutorials!
