Covering children from ages 3 to 12, it provides strategies which address over 40 common behavioral and emotional concerns including aggression, bad language, lying, stealing, sharing, sleeping, sibling rivalry, hyperactivity, dealing with death and grieving, managing stress, depression, shyness, self-esteem, cooperation and following directions, cyber-bullying, managing screen time, impulsivity, distractibility, making friends, nail biting, tantrums, dealing with fears and phobias, eating too little and/or too much, compulsions, obsessions, and oppositional defiance. Along with strategies are resources for further reading including lists of books, magazine and journal articles, and websites.
The user can:
• select a list of strategies for your child based on age, behavior, and individual(s) who can benefit from the strategies (parent or teacher).
• attach a note that can be used to include strategies of your own, reminders or a “to-do” list. For example, if you send the strategies to the child’s parents that are consistent with how the child is being managed at school
• use the automatically generated list of references for further study or background reading.
• save the strategies you have selected to a file that you can text, email, print or format as a book. You can always come back any time in the future to update it.
