'Based on research over many years, at last there is a book to help young children develop coping strategies needed for a strong sense of self and socio-emotional skills needed for success in life!Using coping images to promote discussion, arts, and other discipline-based learning activities, this book provides the theoretical base and practical strategies to help young children cope in positive ways with hard situations important to the age. Applicable to classrooms and to the home environment, as well as dealing with coping for students with special needs, this book is needed more than ever in our increasingly stressful and complex world to prepare young children to successfully manage their fears and feelings.'
