Bounce Back: How to Be a Resilient Kid

I feel that it could have a lot more to keep you attention. I am a little disappointed.

I am something of a compulsive book buyer and many end up sitting gathering dust on my book shelves. This book is a definite exception, I use it all the time in my work with 10-14 years old. It is a real gem.

The interactive writing style of Bounce Back keeps the reader engaged from start to finish. Each chapter encourages kids to get to know themselves better and actively reflect on how they manage their emotions, disappointments, social conflicts and how to deal with life's challenging situations which may be out of their control. The author uses vignettes, as examples of potential stressful situations, which are easy for the reader to connect to and think how they might handle the situation if it happened to them. Bounce Back's message lets us know challenging situations can also be opportunities to learn more about you and gives guidance on how to go about helping yourself no matter where you are on your journey to becoming resilient.
