Using engaging illustrations and fun activities based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), one of the most proven-effective and widely used forms of therapy today, this Instant Help workbook presents a unique approach to help children harness the power of their imaginations to reduce anxiety and build self-esteem.

With engaging CBT-based activities, games, and illustrations—and with a focus on imagination training and developing skills like problem solving, assertiveness, positive thinking, body awareness, relaxation, and mindfulness—this book will help kids stand up to worry and harness the power of their imagination for good.

Download or read book I Don t Want To Be Bad written by Amy Marschall Psy D and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In my practice as a psychologist, I have met with hundreds of kids. These kids have come from all kinds of homes, family systems, and backgrounds, and they present with all kinds of challenges. The one thing they have in common is that, deep down, every single child wants to be good. Do they act out to seek attention they do not feel they can get otherwise? Absolutely! Do they choose frustrating behaviors because they don't know better ways of getting their needs met? For sure!So how can we, the adults, help children learn how to manage and communicate their emotions appropriately? Enter this book!This workbook is created for use by professionals who work with children with emotional and behavioral issues and the adults who love and care for those children. It is intended for use in a clinical context, or by teachers who are trying to implement trauma-informed resources in their classroom. The activities and tools provided here are designed for children from approximately age 5-12. Although teens could also benefit from these skills, the language used is geared toward a younger audience.These tools are presented to help kids learn skills for self-regulation, mindfulness, and communication of feelings. The order provided is intended to allow children to build upon skills they have already learned. Although this order is recommended, professionals can use their discretion about what tools will be most helpful at a given time. This book is designed to help kids get in touch with their feelings and share these feelings in an appropriate and effective way.Although this book was written with kids with mental health challenges in mind, many of these activities can benefit anyone! What child hasn't had a day when they need to focus on slowing down and taking big breaths?The book starts with tools to help parents implement these skills in their home, then introduces relaxation exercises to help kids calm their bodies when they are escalated. It then progresses into teaching them how to identify what is going on inside of their bodies, even when they might not have a specific name for that feeling. Next, it helps kids put names to what they are experiencing and practice asking for what they need. (As adults, we need to be aware of when kids are communicating needs to us so that they learn that we respond and are there to help them!) Finally, using mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques, this book provides resources to help kids cope with negative feelings and thoughts safely and effectively.In my psychology practice, I work with kids who have a hard time expressing their feelings every day. A common complaint I hear is, "Why do I feel this way? I don't have a reason to feel sad/angry/upset!" I like to say, "If feelings were logical, I would be out of a job." No feeling is inherently "good" or "bad," but some feelings are unpleasant and can seem irrational or even shameful. The activities in this book will help kids to not only understand and communicate their feelings, but it encourages them to develop a healthy relationship with their emotions, even when those emotions are unpleasant.I can't promise no bad days, but I can help provide the tools to make those days bearable!

LAST DAYS! ★  Your child can overcome big emotions Anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and trauma are all thought to be adult related concerns. No one talks about how these big emotions, feelings, and events can have just as significant of an impact on children. Children are looked at as safe from these hard to overcome emotions. But, with constant exposure to news reports, violent games, social media, and crime in their own neighborhood, it is likely that your child may be struggling with these emotions without you even knowing it. Children often act out when they feel out of control. When they are trying to make sense of what they are feeling, these behaviors intensify. Unfortunately, these behaviors are often chalked up to typical tantrums, the child only trying to get what they want, or the child seeking attention. The cause of the behavior is never really questioned. While it is typical for children to throw tantrums and fits every now and then, when these become more frequent and last longer than a few minutes, this is a clear red flag your child is struggling with some more. Children can suffer from depression, anxiety, and stress, among other intense mood disorders and emotions. Young children do not have the skillset to help them work through these problems on their own. It is no wonder why your child may be acting out if they are feeling confused and frightened by what they are thinking or feeling. As a parent, you want to help your child work through these big emotions and strengthen the skills your child needs to overcome these emotions in the future. That is where this book can help! In this workbook you will understand: What anxiety, anger, stress, trauma, and depression looks like in a child What skills your child may be lacking, which are adding to unwanted behaviors. How to properly open the lines of communication with your child to talk about what they are going through. What lifestyle change can best benefit you and your child. This book will also provide you with activities, games, and techniques that you and your child can do together to work through big emotions. Your child may have struggled in the past to communicate about what they are feeling and what is bothering them simply because they do not yet have an understanding of their feelings. Unwanted behaviors are never because your child wants to be bad. They are simply the only way they know how to cope and handle the big emotions they are experiencing. This book will help you recognize this behavior and how you can help your child make the necessary changes to help them overcome and properly express what they are struggling with. You and your child will gain a clear understanding of how to overcome big emotions, rewire negative thoughts, and maintain control in any situation from this book. If you have been trying to help your child with little to no positive results in the past, this book can provide you with the key tools that you may have been missing. If you are ready to see your child happy and thriving in any situation, then this is the book for you to get started with. Buy it NOW and let your customers get addicted to this amazing book.
