My students have words for their feelings, strategies that calm their bodies, and confidence to try again when things feel tough. The activities are fun, easy to use, and keep kids engaged without feeling like ‘therapy.’ I’ve watched children go from overwhelmed to proud of their progress, and it’s been incredible. This book doesn’t just help kids, it empowers the adults guiding them. I truly believe every school should have a copy.
