Book Description
Everyone has different needs when it comes to coping with life's stressors, and children are no different. Some need quiet and soothing activities to calm them down, whereas others require more physical activity or intense sensory input to relax their minds and bodies. This resource comprises a collection of fun, flexible, tried-and-tested activities and make-it-yourself workbooks for parents and professionals to help a child in need of extra emotional support find the coping skills that fit them best. Each activity lists the materials required and includes clear directions for how to do it. There is something for every child: whether they are dynamic and creative or more cerebral and literal. Projects include making wish fairies, dream catchers, and mandalas; managing unstructured time with activities such as creating comics, dioramas and tongue twisters; and simple ideas for instant soothing, such as taking deep breaths, blowing bubbles, making silly faces, and playing music. Creative Coping Skills for Children also includes specific interventions for anxious or grieving children such as making worry dolls and memory shrines. This book is full of fun, easy, creative project ideas for parents of children aged 3–12, teachers, counselors, play therapists, social workers, and all professionals working with children.

Coping Skills Interventions for Children and Adolescents

Author: Susan G. Forman
Publisher: Jossey-Bass
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 240

Book Description
Children and adolescents encounter a variety of potentially stressful situations on a daily basis. In this book, Susan G. Forman provides school psychologists, counselors, social workers, and teachers with a wide range of coping skills interventions designed to help them teach children how to handle stress and deal more competently with academic, interpersonal, and physical demands both in and out of the classroom. In addition to covering the historical development of each intervention, Forman also details the specific techniques that can be used to promote and evaluate student change. She shows how instruction in relaxation techniques, social problem-solving skills, and assertiveness skills can promote the growth of interpersonal and emotional competence. And she discusses the key factors in successful implementation, such as winning support from a number of different sources and monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of intervention programs. From teaching students the use of verbal self-instruction to applying the principles of rational-emotive therapy to help construct new patterns of thinking, Forman reveals how coping skills interventions can help young people develop into healthy, competent adults.
