Fun and easy skills to help kids bounce back from stress and rebound from adversity.
As a parent, you want to protect your child from life’s difficulties. But this isn’t always possible. In order to face the uncertainty and inevitable setbacks of life with confidence, children need the right tools. The good news is that you can give them these tools. Designed for kids ages 7 to 12, this workbook provides actionable techniques to help kids cope with stress, manage powerful emotions, and grow through life’s challenges.
The Resilience Workbook for Kids offers engaging activities grounded in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and positive psychology to help your child recover from difficult experiences. Your child will learn how to “make friends with” their emotions, focus on the things in life that make them happy, and connect with what really matters to them. Finally, your child will discover how helping others can make them feel good about themselves, so they can move beyond feelings like sadness, fear, and anger.
Resilience can help kids stay strong and recover from the psychological impact of stress. This workbook will help your child find the tools needed to build resilience in the face of stress, so they can bounce back even better.

I feel this book is a great tool for kids all ages and we are looking forward to continuing going through the book together as a family. I will also be purchasing a copy for our school to have as well.
I love how this book is filled with exercises and pages for me to work with my child to draw out or fill in our answers. It got me thinking about how to explain and identify emotions. The authors explain a concept to “accept the yuck,” and respond to it. My favorite activity and one that I will practice myself is an acronym they use called PUMP. It involves taking notes and remembering the positive emotions we feel. There is a handy chart in the book to record the positive emotions. Throughout the book is a running theme of positivity and optimism that we all need to practice in our lives.
If you are looking for lessons to teach elementary school kids, this is definitely a great tool!
