PRAISE FOR THE COPING SKILLS FOR KIDS WORKBOOK:

"I absolutely LOVE the “Coping Skills for Kids Workbook” by Janine Halloran.  It’s an AMAZING resource of over 75 coping strategies for kids to help deal with stress, anxiety, and anger.  It’s organized wonderfully by four categories - calming coping skills, distracting coping skills, physical coping skills, and process coping skills - with an extremely helpful checklist handout to work on with kids.  With all of these strategies in one place it will definitely be my “go-to” book for a long time in my work as a child psychologist and play therapist."

A teen version of the Coping Skills for Kids Workbook, this version is written specifically with a tween/teen audience (age 11+) in mind. There are 60 coping strategies included in the book, and it's divided into Coping Styles to make searching for a coping skill easier.

PRAISE FOR THE COPING SKILLS FOR TEENS WORKBOOK:

From my favorite go-to expert on coping skills, Janine Halloran does not disappoint with her latest book! I love her simple, yet comprehensive way of explaining anxiety to teens. Her exercises are spot on and can really catapult a teen’s progress. This workbook will definitely be used in my therapy practice and a favorite resource to recommend.

SOCIAL SKILLS FOR KIDS

Janine wrote a book designed to help elementary school aged children practice social skills with games, activities and group challenges called Social Skills for Kids. This book is perfect for small social skills groups at school or in counseling settings.

 
 

PRAISE FOR SOCIAL SKILLS FOR KIDS

"Social Skills for Kids is an awesome resource for therapists, teachers, counselors and others who work with children who need extra support with social-emotional skills.  This great book takes the guesswork out of planning lessons for social skills groups and provides a solid foundation for kids to be able to develop the skills they need to interact with their peers in a healthy, happy way."
