A Little Helping Hand

As a counsellor working from the cognitive behavioral approach, I hope to offer a tool for parents, teachers or anyone working with or supporting children. With hope this book can be used as a foundation to getting a child to relate, understand or send that message that getting help and support is ok. I have covered certain emotions such as anger, feeling anxious, low mood and happiness, also impacts of bullying and importance of self-care and healthy management. Touching on some thoughts, feelings and behaviors I often see in the counselling room as a result to these emotions and offering tasks for the child to engage in. I hoped giving the emotions characters would be a helpful tool when working on managing them, helping a child relate by offering a visual to help them recognize, challenge and learn how to self-manage in a healthy way. Working with children emotionally struggling I have found the use of various tools invaluable.
