Review Quotes:
"I was able to leave this book with my eight-year-old son and he did two of the activities with his five-year-old sister! There are activities in here we'd had suggested to us by our therapist, but because Stacy is talking directly to kids in this book it really gets them engaged. So it's not a lesson from Mom, it's their idea to try something new--and I got to finish an entire cup of coffee while it was still hot!" --Graeme Seabrook, maternal mental health expert, community leader, certified life coach, and founder of The Mom Center

Review Quotes:
"Raising kids is hard, but raising resilient, emotionally intelligent kids is even harder. Here is a book that talks to kids about feelings in an approachable, inclusive way. It is filled with fun activities, and the language meets kids just where they are in such a respectful way. I really believe 'All feelings are OK, ' and this book helps them know they can handle hard feelings relating to anger, siblings, and many other things that kids struggle with daily. What an amazing tool that will help build independence and wonderful human beings!" --Kelly Meier, owner of Respectful Parent

Review Quotes:
"This is a great book! Positive Behavior Activities for Kids is full of fun activities that build emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and communication skills. Readers can follow the prompts and play on their own, but the activities can easily be modified for younger children as well. I'll be sharing this with my clients!" --Aki Raymer, MA, positive parenting educator and founder of Parenting Paths

Review Quotes:
"Stacy's book is a wonderful way for kids to engage in playful activities to help their bodies and brains stay engaged. As a pediatric occupational therapist and a parent, I love the possibilities these activities offer a wide range of children." --Marissa Anderson, MOT, OTR/L
