I Can Handle Change

Does your child shy away from trying new things? Perhaps they have experienced a big change recently and are finding it difficult to articulate their feelings? Do they feel out-of-control at times and want to understand why? These are signs that your child is ready to learn more about how to thrive during life’s big and little changes.

This practical guide combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness methods with simple activities to help your child develop the skills to articulate their feelings and regulate their moods.
