Raina wakes up one night with a terrible upset stomach. Her mom has one, too, so it's probably just a bug. Raina eventually returns to school, where she's dealing with the usual highs and lows: friends, not-friends, and classmates who think the school year is just one long gross-out session. It soon becomes clear that Raina's tummy trouble isn't going away... and it coincides with her worries about food, school, and changing friendships.

Abstract
Que l'enfant aie peur d'un monstre dans son placard, de s'éloigner, de sauter dans l'eau ou des autres enfants, son anxiété le limite dans sa vie et peut être particulièrement exaspérante pour toute la famille. Dans ce livre, vous comprendrez pourquoi les explications logiques et le réconfort échouent le plus souvent, pourquoi l'évitement n'est pas une bonne idée et pourquoi forcer n'aide pas. Lawrence Cohen, l'auteur de « Qui veut jouer avec moi ? » propose ici des stratégies originales, simples et efficaces pour aider votre enfant non seulement à dépasser son anxiété, mais aussi à retrouver confiance et solidité. Vous saurez : enseigner à votre enfant comment fonctionne le système de sécurité de son corps : l'alerte, l'alarme, l'évaluation et la fin d'alerte. L'aider à tolérer l'inconfort et traverser un moment effrayant, sans fuir ni serrer les dents. Trouver des façons rigolotes de relâcher les tensions. Rester vous-même calme lors d'une crise. Rendre à votre enfant la maîtrise de ses pensées, pour que les pensées anxieuses laissent la place à d'autres plus constructives. Mine de ressources et de finesse, ce livre propose des solutions et des techniques pour passer d'anxiété, inquiétude et peur à confiance, connexion et joie !

Like all dogs, Presley the Pug loves to play, run, and snuggle up under his warm blanket. But sometimes, Presley gets gets so excited that his feelings take over.
Sometimes it's anger, sometimes stress, sometimes worry. He doesn't know how to calm down! What can Presley do when he feels like this? Luckily Presley's canine friends are nearby with some wise words and they share some of the tricks that have worked for them!
This therapeutic activity book was developed by expert child psychologist Dr Karen Treisman. It features a colourful therapeutic story designed to help start conversations about coping with big feelings and how to find calm. It explains how Presley (and the reader!) is able to create a 'mind retreat' - an imaginary safe space where he can relax.
The activity book is also packed with creative activities and photocopiable worksheets to help children to explore the ideas raised in the story, including regulating and coping tools like sensory boxes, relaxation exercises and easy yoga poses. It also features advice and practical strategies for parents, carers and professionals supporting children aged 5-10.
Notes
Intended for children ages 5-10.
