★ WHY THIS WORKBOOK
As a school psychologist I worked for years with children from separated families. The children who did best had at least one calm, predictable adult at home. This workbook gives you the games and the words to be that adult, in 10 minutes a day. Grounded in Parent–Child Interaction Therapy principles, emotion coaching, DBT skills and trauma-informed care.
