About this title

Synopsis

This illustrated and interactive workbook will help children find ways to calm their Red Beast and learn how to prevent it from waking in the first place. Full of practical activities and illustrated examples, it supports the development of emotional and sensory regulation and provides coping mechanisms for children who experience intense emotional flooding or meltdowns as well.
The workbook includes a helpful introduction for adults on the science of self-regulation, clear guidance on how to pace the learning and a wide range of activities such as scenarios to help children explore their anger, anger management plans, and exercises that encourage interoceptive awareness. It also addresses common causes of anger including perfectionism, winning and losing and discusses the importance of a positive attitude and using kind words in a child-friendly way.
Join Danni and his friends and family as they explore the challenges they face from the Red Beast and how they overcome them.
