Self-talk lasts a lifetime. Let's make sure our kids speak well to themselves!
Holidays and special occasions can be particularly tricky for kids. (for adults too!) Crowds, loud noises, new environments and lack of routine combine to make kids feel anxious and overwhelmed and they don't know what to do!
By repeating simple easy to 'get' language, like I CAN HANDLE IT, kids realize something powerful. They CAN handle anxious and overwhelming feelings.
Parents and teachers are amazed after children read this book because it actually works! Even if kids aren't saying the words out loud, they learn the phrase it becomes a part of their self-talk, which lasts a lifetime.
And because teachers and parents continue to have such difficult and important jobs, this book includes a resource for both.
