Description

School as we know it looks unlike anything we ever could have imagined.

As we return to educating our children (whether in school or remotely) the question on everyone’s mind -- how do we offer our students the support they need, no matter where they are?

Kids will be struggling to manage their anxiety, stress, and anger they feel in safe and healthy ways.  So how do we help them manage the emotional climate that is so crucial to connecting and learning!

Join Janine Halloran, author of best-selling “Coping Skills for Kids Workbook” to show kids simple, healthy, and safe ways to identify and express their emotions and calm their bodies. By discovering coping skills, they’ll be better able to focus on their work during school time and spend time connecting with their families when schoolwork is done.

The positive impact safe and healthy coping skills will have on a child will be truly transformational! Purchase today!
