I am not a parent or teacher, which is the intended audience of this book, I'm actually a college student, but I found this book very helpful. It teaches simple ways to deal with everyday stress. If you are a parent/teacher, this book offers many exercises that can be done with children to help them fully understand their emotions and how they work. I def recommend.

This book is wonderful I am a Nana to 3 young children making me a grandmother also.this book is a great read and very interesting and very factual (yes I said it even though it's not a word)it is quite the information wizard!Our lives are always so busy we barely have enough time to breathe,let alone worry about being resilient with our grandchildren,children or asking them what's on there minds..I admit I often do...today for example my grandchild asked me if she could listen to her I-pod I told her yes if that's what you really want to do...next thing you know we are talking about her father when he was a child...then we got to our destination,this book will help bring us closer to our children,grandchildren.Entering a new hope for wonder and fulfillment.I mean really isn't that what our lives should be made of....I think Goldie got it right in would love to learn more about the program Mind-up,maybe bring it to there schools.please email me with information for the Hawn Foundation.
