This is a super book for empowering kids, teens, and even adults with real-life power tools for managing frustration, anxiety, anger, sensory challenges and more!
Corinna Laurie, Occupational Therapist and author of Sensory and Motor Strategies 3rd Edition
This book is an easy-to-follow resource that helps children see self-regulation as a superpower that they can grow and use to support them everyday. The tools suggested help children build confidence, make thoughtful choices, and regulate their emotions. A lovely addition to Lauren's Superhero collection.
Tanya van Dalen, Occupational Therapist and author of Sensory Parenting for Sensory Children
Combining practical advice, compassion and a wonderful sense of fun, this book is a wonderful addition to your toolkit for parents and professionals alike. The book gives parents a fun and accessible tool to open discussions with their child about how to manage strong emotions as well as giving the parent some guidance on how to best work through each chapter. The Superhero and their super powers are beautifully illustrated and bring the book to life. They give the reader a real sense of what they might be feeling and how to use the strategies discussed. I am going to be recommending this book to parents, it is a practical and compassionate focus on how to manage strong emotions.
