6 SUPER SKILLS to help teens stay focused and reach their goals!
Do you sometimes have trouble paying attention in school? Do you lose track of time and deadlines? Do you often feel ?scattered? or unorganized? You?re not alone. All teens need a little extra help staying focused?in school and in life. This is especially true if you have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing disorders, a mood disorder, or have experienced traumatic brain injury. The good news is that there are skills you can learn to help you stay on track.
In this friendly guide, psychologist and ADHD expert Lara Honos-Webb offers six powerful ?super skills? to help you pay attention, increase productivity, and get organized so you can achieve your goals and live your best life. These skills include:
Focusing on the positive
Goal setting
Chunking: breaking big goals down into small manageable chunks
Motivational enhancement
Emotional regulation: dealing with ?big? feelings
Managing attention
Once you learn and practice these skills, you?ll feel empowered to conquer any task?no matter how big. So, why not start learning them today?

Abstract
Every night, Bailey dreams about magical dresses: dresses made of crystals and rainbows, dresses made of flowers, dresses made of windows... Unfortunately, when Bailey's awake, no one wants to hear about these beautiful dreams. Quite the contrary: "You're a BOY!"; Mother and Father tell Bailey. "You shouldn't be thinking about dresses at all." Then Bailey meets Laurel, an older girl who is touched and inspired by Bailey's imagination and courage. In friendship, the two of them begin making dresses together. And Bailey becomes the girl she always dreamed she'd be!

Comment annoncer à un enfant la mort d'un proche? Quelles peuvent être ses réactions à la perte d'un être cher? Comment l'aider à traverser ces moments difficiles? Ce guide pratique s'adresse aux parents, grands-parents, oncles et tantes, parrains et marraines, etc., qui, confrontés à un décès dans leur famille ou dans leur entourage, se préoccupent de ce que vivent les enfants. Il concerne également les professionnels de l'enfance et de la famille (éducateurs, assistants sociaux, psychologues, enseignants, etc.) qui sont amenés à suivre un enfant en deuil. À l'aide d'explications théoriques et d'exemples tirés de leur pratique, les auteurs apportent un éclairage ciblé sur différentes facettes du processus de deuil de l'enfant. Des pistes de réflexion et d'action sont suggérées et détaillées par âges, allant de la prime enfance à l'adolescence. Des conseils utiles sont également proposés aux adultes et à la famille dans son ensemble. Ce guide a été réalisé par les intervenantes de la fondation As'trame, qui accompagne des enfants en deuil et leurs familles depuis plus de vingt ans. L'expérience accumulée au cours de ces nombreuses années constitue la substance même du livre. Celui-ci est structuré en chapitres indépendants qui peuvent être lus séparément les uns des autres. Le lecteur peut ainsi trouver rapidement des réponses à ses questions sans avoir à parcourir l'entier de l'ouvrage.

Abstract
The Antidepressant Skills Workbook (ASW) is a self-care manual is based on the experience of the authors and on scientific research about which strategies work best in managing depression. It provides an overview of depression, explains how it can be effectively managed according to the best available research, and gives a step-by-step guide to changing patterns that trigger depression.
In this self-care guide, we show how to use cognitive and behavioural methods to make important changes in thinking and actions that help one to emerge from depression and make it less likely to recur. These methods can be used in combination with depression treatments, increasing their effectiveness.
Note that for most people with serious depression, use of this self-help guide alone will not be sufficient to resolve the depression. People with serious depression should obtain treatment with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or antidepressant medication.
ASW is intended for:
- Individuals with depressed mood
- Concerned partners, family members or friends who want to help a depressed individual
- Clinical providers that would like to use the manual as an adjunct to their treatment
This book is meant to provide accurate information about depression. It is not a psychological or medical treatment, and is not a replacement for treatment where this is needed. If expert assistance or treatment is needed, the services of a competent professional should be sought.
Funding for this book was provided through grants from the Ministry of Health, and BC Mental Health and Addiction Services, an agency of the Provincial Health Services Authority, province of British Columbia, Canada.
Note: This publication is designed to provide accurate and authoritative information in regard to the subject matter covered. It is provided with the understanding that the publisher is not engaged in rendering psychological or other professional services. If expert assistance or treatment is needed, the services of a competent professional should be sought.
