Using the skills outlined in this book, kids will be able to manage their emotions, get along with others, and do better in school.</b></p><p>Childhood can often be a time of intense emotions. But if your child's emotions interfere with school, homework, or tests; alienate them from their peers; make it difficult to forge lasting friendships; or cause constant conflicts at home--it's time to make a change. You need help to calm the chaos now, rather than later.</p><p>Building on the success of <i>Don't Let Your Emotions Run Your Life</i> and <i>Don't Let Your Emotions Run Your Life for Teens</i>, this is the first dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) activity skills workbook designed especially for kids. Designed for children ages 7 to 12, this essential guide will help kids manage difficult emotions and get along better with others.</p><p>If you are frustrated or worried about your emotional child, the hands-on activities in this book--including child-friendly mindfulness practices--can help. By reading this book, kids will develop their own "skills tool box" for dealing with intense emotions as they arise, no matter where or when. <p/><i>This book has been selected as an </i>Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Book Recommendation<i>--an honor bestowed on outstanding self-help books that are consistent with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles and that incorporate scientifically tested strategies for overcoming mental health difficulties. Used alone or in conjunction with therapy, our books offer powerful tools readers can use to jump-start changes in their lives.</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Don't Let Your Emotions Run Your Life for Kids</i> provides an easy-to-understand and effective set of tools to help kids navigate the complexities of emotions they may be struggling with.

I do dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with adults, and I could easily see the transition to kid-friendly language and concepts without losing any information.
