Helping kids with big emotions

The Coping Kids is a collection of short stories in poem format, representing six multicultural characters struggling to cope with sleepover anxiety, what-if racing thoughts, low self-esteem, sleep issues, anger, and bullying. It offers suggestions on how parents can help their kids cope with each situation in fun and creative ways.

The goal is for parents or caregivers to recognize just how important of a role they play in reacting to their kids’ big emotions and for kids to begin identifying what they think and feel. Hopefully our young readers can pick a character that they relate to and know that they are not alone!
