Children pay close attention to their parents' mood. When parents feel upset, their kids may become anxious, and when parents wind down, children also get the chance to relax. When parents feel overwhelmed and stressed, it can be hard to help their child feel balanced. This workbook, written by two child therapists, offers more than fifty activities parents and children can do together as a family to help replace stressful and anxious feelings with feelings of optimism, confidence and joy. Proven relaxation techniques, including deep breathing, guided imagery, mindfulness and yoga are introduced, and parents receive guidance for teaching them to their children. Kids discover how taking time to do art and creative projects can create a sense of fulfillment and calm.
