CBT Workbook for Kids: Proven Techniques and Exercises to Help Children Get Relief From Anxiety, Depression and Emotional Issues. How to Overcome ADHD, ... Healthy Childhood
Is CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) an effective form of therapy for children?
Absolutely YES! In recent years into the scientific community has grown a body of proofs that supports this statement.
Sometimes, as adults, we forget that children can experience some tough emotions or horrible situations. We write them off cause they are “young and resilient,” but that’s the wrong thing to do. Things that happen during childhood will have lasting effects, and it can cause them some serious problems later in life.
The goal of this book is to help children work through these things by using CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy). This is a workbook, so it mixes theorical concepts with practical exercises: parents and kids can step by steps become familiar with CBT concepts and train their skill together, playing and learning new ways to approach modern life and its obstacles.
Here the main conditions that are treated in this book:
- ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder)
- Mood Disorders
- Eating Disorders
- OCD (Obsessive-compulsive disorder)
- PSTD (Posttraumatic stress disorder)
- Self-Harm
The role of mindful practice is crucial into this self-improvement journey: It doesn’t matter how old your child is; kids can benefit from practicing mindfulness, it can help to reduce their anxiety and increase their happiness.
Over time, cognitive behavioural therapy can guide children through the process of generating more realistic versions of situations and provide the tools necessary to cope with them. Kids can begin to understand that negative emotions will pass, much like a dark cloud on a sunny day.

Not Really for Kids
This author has written three separate CBT workbooks for kids, teens, and adults. I feel like the author didn't quite nail the kid aspect with this book. The first half of it is entirely written for the parents or caregivers, not the child. Once the actual workbook section starts at around the midpoint of the book, it appears to be geared for the child to respond/write in directly. Given that this author has a book for teens, one would suppose that this book would be for tweens and younger. However, the author doesn't write in a child-friendly manner. The workbook section for the child comes across as though it was still written for the adult (like the previous section). While I firmly believe in CBT, I do not think this book is well suited for kids.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

This is a good guide to help parents navigate helping their kids through their feelings and understand the appropriate way to handle things. Yes things are so different from when I grew up, plus I don't remember most of the issue, but when you read this book it give some great techniques to help.
