The Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook for Kids

Children pay close attention to their parents' moods. When parents feel upset, their kids may become anxious, and when parents wind down, children also get the chance to relax. When parents feel overwhelmed and stressed, it can be hard to help their child feel balanced. The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook for Kids, written by two child therapists, offers more than fifty activities for families to replace stressful and anxious feelings with feelings of optimism, confidence, and joy. These activities include proven relaxation techniques, including deep breathing, guided imagery, mindfulness, and yoga. Children will also discover how taking time to do art and creative projects can create a sense of fulfillment and calm.
