• 

An intervention tool that no one should be without!

Lenexa, KS (PRWEB) November 07, 2013

Using empirically based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies, A Week of Switching, Shifting, and Stretching: How to Make My Thinking More Flexible helps children who get stuck in patterns of rigid thinking and subsequently have social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. Children will enjoy the illustrations and relate to the characters to develop rainbow thinking.

Using repeated rhymes and colorful illustrations, the child begins to recognize that the more flexible his or her thinking is, the better he or she is able to cope with the challenges that life presents, ultimately leading to fewer tantrums and meltdowns.
