"An anti-anxiety toolkit of easy-to-understand methods for recognizing anxious behaviors and identifying the causes of worried thinking"--

What if the thoughts that trigger your child's anxiety were neutralized? What if the butterflies in their stomach, the sweat on their palms, and the desperate look in their eyes for help were transformed? And what if they had the skills to affect this transformation themselves? This book provides a pathway to do just that. In this story, you'll meet Nelly Moon who gets extremely nervous before riding the bus to school. Just thinking about the bus makes Nelly jittery! Fortunately, she's befriended by a sweet alien named Neutrino who takes her on an international adventure to learn something called the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or tapping. Nelly uses tapping to ease her anxiety and boost her confidence. Tapping is a technique backed by mounting scientific evidence to calm the nervous system to restore balance in the mind and body. Your child can read this beautifully illustrated story and workbook to learn the simple yet powerful anxiety relief technique of tapping. Ready to get started? As Neutrino says, "Come on, youthlings, let's GoTapping!"

"Don't eat so much junk!" "Study harder!" "Stop fighting with your sister!" We want the best for our kids. In the pursuit of their greatest well-being, we often take a path of rooting out "what's wrong" and fixing it. But what if living a good life goes beyond reducing the problems our children face? What if it is equally important to teach kids to seek out "what's right"? Turns out the research supports this notion. Helping our children identify, apply, and nurture their character strengths is a 21st century life skill which is associated with greater life satisfaction, engagement in school, academic success, and overall well-being. What we know is as important as it is to reduce the problems facing our children, it is equally as important to nurture what is right. In this, they have the tools to thrive and create positive connections to the larger world. "What's Right with This Picture?" is a workbook for teachers and parents to work with their kids to learn character strength vocabulary, identify character strengths in themselves and others around them, and find ways to apply strengths in their lives. This fully-illustrated workbook teaches these lessons through fun and relatable stories and activities.

Need a pick me up? Use this beautifully illustrated journal containing six research-inspired exercises to nurture greater self-compassion. After we face challenges and experience emotional turmoil, it's commonplace to be self-critical. In short, we are regularly beating ourselves up for our own humanity. Fortunately, we can choose a different reaction to adversity. During the trials of life, we deserve our own love and kindness. This is not about self-pity or self-indulgence, but rather, it's a form of compassion that acknowledges that we are simply human. There is mounting research that reveals that allowing ourselves to "be human" is a path to greater well-being. But even without the science, if we quiet our souls and listen to our inner voices, it is clear that self-compassion will always trump self-criticism on the journey toward living a purposeful, meaningful, and engaged life. "Self-compassion soothes the mind like a loving friend who's willing to listen to our difficulties without giving advice, until we can sort out our problems for ourselves." Kristen Neff

When you go through a break up, not only are you losing your partner, you're losing the world you created together. Social events, professional life, and even the little daily moments can lack meaning. Many experience anxiety during times like these caused by ruminating on the past or fearing an unknown future. Fortunately, there are practices that can help you heal. Research shows us that remaining focused on the present moment-a practice facilitated by meditation-can quell your stress and help you heal. If you've tried traditional meditation and it hasn't worked for you or if you're looking for an alternative, you've found the right book. This adult coloring book is dedicated to helping you overcome a broken heart by cultivating mindfulness, serenity, and healing. Find 20 unique, beautiful healing illustrations inside along with short exercises and inspiring messages to complement each coloring page.
