WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

I have really enjoyed sharing this resource with my students. The graphics are so kid-friendly and the coping skills are easy for the students to relate to and implement. There is also a great variety of options for all of the students to choose from and find a coping skill for them to apply in their lives. The best part is when they come back and share with me which coping skill worked the best for them! THANK YOU so much for creating this much-needed resource for my students.

I am using this resource in the hospital as a child life specialist. Lots of my patients have difficulty identifying how they get through scary times. For the short term, I can help them, but then can continue the discussion with them once the surgery or procedure is done. Beautiful graphics make it appealing to many. Thank you so much for sharing this great resource.
