Bounce Back: How to Be a Resilient Kid

by Wendy L. Moss

Some people seem to just automatically bounce back from tough times. But the truth is that resilience is not something you are born with--it must be learned. Resilience isn't just about being tough in the face of adversity, but rather learning to make connections with others, move toward goals, maintain a positive view, and accept that change is part of life. Bounce Back will help you find your bounce using quizzes, advice, and practical strategies to build up resiliency skills.

This is a great workbook to use with upper elementary students to learn about themselves & emotional regulation.

looks really solid - like a good book to help an adult talk with a child. Friendly to motivated kids as well. I would like to read this myself, because I think it has some great life-long strategies.
