About the Book

A book full of activities that teach and encourage positive behavior in kids ages 4-8.

Book Synopsis

Fun activities that encourage positive behavior in kids ages 4 to 8

When children struggle with behavior, it's because they lack the tools to understand their strong feelings and react constructively. A positive approach to behavior books for kids, this activity book helps children build a stronger emotional vocabulary, improve their self-regulation, and develop empathy for others. They'll build up their cooperation skills through drawing and writing prompts, physical exercises, arts and crafts projects, and other creative exercises.

This standout among behavior books for kids includes:

• A range of activities--From building feeling forts and soothing pinwheels to running like a cheetah and breathing like a dragon, these engaging exercises teach kids the skills they need to deal with big emotions.
• Independent learning--All of these activities use basic materials and provide step-by-step instructions, so early readers can do them with little or no adult supervision.
• Vibrant illustrations--Unlike many other behavior books for kids, this one includes cute, colorful drawings that help illustrate the exercises and keep children engaged.

Help children improve their behavior and thrive with this fun entry into behavior books for kids.

Review Quotes

"I was able to leave this book with my eight-year-old son and he did two of the activities with his five-year-old sister! There are activities in here we'd had suggested to us by our therapist, but because Stacy is talking directly to kids in this book it really gets them engaged. So it's not a lesson from Mom, it's their idea to try something new--and I got to finish an entire cup of coffee while it was still hot!" --Graeme Seabrook, maternal mental health expert, community leader, certified life coach, and founder of The Mom Center

"Raising kids is hard, but raising resilient, emotionally intelligent kids is even harder. Here is a book that talks to kids about feelings in an approachable, inclusive way. It is filled with fun activities, and the language meets kids just where they are in such a respectful way. I really believe 'All feelings are OK, ' and this book helps them know they can handle hard feelings relating to anger, siblings, and many other things that kids struggle with daily. What an amazing tool that will help build independence and wonderful human beings!" --Kelly Meier, owner of Respectful Parent

"Stacy's book is a wonderful way for kids to engage in playful activities to help their bodies and brains stay engaged. As a pediatric occupational therapist and a parent, I love the possibilities these activities offer a wide range of children." --Marissa Anderson, MOT, OTR/L

"This is a great book! Positive Behavior Activities for Kids is full of fun activities that build emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and communication skills. Readers can follow the prompts and play on their own, but the activities can easily be modified for younger children as well. I'll be sharing this with my clients!" --Aki Raymer, MA, positive parenting educator and founder of Parenting Paths
