I use this book in an individual and group counseling setting! This has great activities for any kid! I think it works especially well with kids that have ADD/ADHD, anger, anxiety, and/or impulse control problems.
Use this book to start teaching your child relaxation and self calming skills early!

My 10 year old daughter has been experiencing some situational anxiety. She and I began using this workbook together to help her feel more relaxed and in control. At first, she was very skeptical, but we began using the Relaxing through Guided Imagery activities. Within a few nights, she was no longer experiencing the anxiety attacks that prevented her from falling asleep. She now asks for the activities before bed and we have begun to do them as a family. I highly recommend this book. It is easy to use and extremely effective.

I love this book it works for children and adults. I am a professional counselor but it works great for parents as well.

This books is an invaluable resource for therapists and counselors seeking practical techniques to help children cope with stress and anxiety. Readers may also be interested in the following books:

I have used this book numerous times in my practice. Most of the activities are great for therapy sessions. The kids I have used this with enjoyed the activities too.
