Reviews for Creative Ways to Help Children Manage BIG Feelings: A Therapist´s Guide to Working with Preschool and Primary Children
At first I thought 'not another manual telling me what to do in my therapy room,' but even a superficial first read showed that this is really intended to give you fresh ideas and approaches that are skilfully thought out and have been put to the test. I would definitely recommend it to be placed on the bookshelf in the therapy room for those days when you need inspiration.
