Good resource for kids to learn some ways to de-stress. There’s a lot of ideas so it might be helpful to have them organized with some separate headings and titles. It also lacked explanation of stress and when stress is good vs. bad. Most of the tips and tools I thought were well written and easy to follow, but there were many I probably wouldn’t try.

This wasn't great. Despite the cover being fun and cute, the contents are boring with black and white illustrations and 'information' that simplifies stress rather than explaining its complexity.

Idem dengan buku sebelumnya.

Sebenarnya lagi banyak masalah pun, tetap diupayakan selalu santai sih.

Buat apa susah, buat apa susah, susah itu tak ada gunanya...
