Book excerpt: "The purpose of this workbook is to help children better understand their feelings, and practice strategies for dealing with those feelings in a socially appropriate manner. This book is written for elementary school age children, but may be of use for those younger or older. In so many books and studies I have read about children and adults with mental health problems, there is a strong tie between an inability to manage emotions and problems with day to day functioning. My desire with this workbook is to help all children build more resilience to life's problems by better understanding their own emotions and responding to those emotions in healthy and adaptive ways. This book should be particularly helpful for those children with a mental health diagnosis. ... In using this book, help the child understand that feelings are an emotional response to stimulus, and it's very hard, if not impossibe, to change those initial feelings. What a child can learn to do, however, is manage the resulting behavior. In other words, while it is acceptable to be angry, it is not acceptable to act destructively because of that anger."--Page [1].
