Activities that Help Kids Understand and Process Depression

$10.95

SKU: B109-Net

The perfect companion to Julia Cook’s Blueloon picture book.

Although clinical depression is often thought of as an adult disease, it can affect children, as well. Unfortunately, children may not have the maturity to understand what is happening to them, or they may feel powerless to change their situation, so they don’t speak up about what they are going through. It is up to adults to be on the lookout for signs of trouble and to recognize when a child needs help. This activity book offers processing tools and strategies to help children and parents cope with this difficult situation.

Written by Julia Cook

She has presented in thousands of schools and speaks at education and counseling conferences nationally and internationally.

The goal behind Cook’s work is to actively involve young people in fun, memorable stories and teach them to become lifelong problem-solvers. Inspiration for her books comes from working with children and carefully listening to counselors, parents, and teachers, in order to stay on top of needs in the classroom and at home.

Wonderfully written, and makes discussion of depression with young children very do-able. Right on their level, and easy for them to understand.

Julia Cook is a great author and I have found all of her books and materials to be very helpful for school counselors who are working with young children!
