The Resilience Workbook for Kids

Everyone has their share of stress and challenges. However, the most important factor is how a person copes with life’s challenges. That’s where The Resilience Workbook for Kids can help. Inside this book, you’ll find science, strategies, and fun exercises (a whole toolkit) to help children cope with stress and rebound from adversity. In a world of uncertainty, with significant socio-economic unrest, 24-hour news cycles, physical and environmental health risks (including COVID-19), children need this book more than ever !

Fun and easy skills to help kids bounce back from stress and rebound from adversity.

As a parent, you want to protect your child from life’s difficulties. But this isn’t always possible. In order to face the uncertainty and inevitable setbacks of life with confidence, children need the right tools. The good news is that you can give them these tools. Designed for kids ages 7 to 12, this workbook provides actionable techniques to help kids cope with stress, manage powerful emotions, and grow through life’s challenges.

The Resilience Workbook for Kids offers engaging activities grounded in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and positive psychology to help your child recover from difficult experiences. Your child will learn how to “make friends with” their emotions, focus on the things in life that make them happy, and connect with what really matters to them. Finally, your child will discover how helping others can make them feel good about themselves, so they can move beyond feelings like sadness, fear, and anger.

Resilience can help kids stay strong and recover from the psychological impact of stress. This workbook will help your child find the tools needed to build resilience in the face of stress, so they can bounce back even better.

Endorsements

It’s hard to be a kid today. Kids see more, know more, and do more today than ever before but some of what they see are bad examples, some of what they know is challenging to everyone, and some of what they do are what those bad examples encourage. This book is a practice field for good, showing children in a step-by-step way how to develop the flexible strength needed to prosper. If you love children, you will love the support for healthy growth this book provides. Highly recommended.

This urgently needed workbook brilliantly engages young people to build their resilience skill-sets. They’ll be better prepared to handle life’s curveballs and to get the most out of life in joyful times. I love that this work honors emotions and teaches kids how to own them, process them, and even celebrate that they have them. Critically, The Resilience Workbook for Kids will also prepare you to be the kind of adult who can nurture young people in their resilience journey. I genuinely believe this wonderful toolkit will change lives!”

The Resilience Workbook is a practical, kid-friendly book full of accessible and evidence-based activities for self-directed learning. It gives young people clear directions on why each skill is an important resilience skill and how they can learn, do and strengthen it. This workbook superbly achieves rigour in terms of the psychological constructs and research on which the activities are based and a format that will actively engage young people.

Resilience is more important than ever and I highly recommend this book to parents, teachers and to the young people in our lives.
