This is a new workbook for parents of children ages 6-12 to use mindfulness and brain science to help reduce anxiety and mood related outbursts. It uses the hornet-brain for the amygdala (fight-or-flight) and hippo-brain for the hippocampus (context and long-term memory). The author is a clinical psychologist who has lots of ideas to help parents develop a home routine that promotes calm and peace of mind. I am including it in one of our Family Resource Packs we loan to families. There are some cute worksheets that could be adapted for a small emotion or self-regulation counseling group. Check out the author's website hornets-and-hippos for a few free worksheet based on the workbook.
