Does your child get easily upset, angry, or too excited around Christmas? Perhaps they find it quite difficult to calm down in the lead-up to the big day? Do they seem out of control of their feelings? These could all be signs that your child is feeling overwhelmed by big emotions. This practical guide combines proven cognitive behavioural therapy methods used by child psychologists in schools with simple activities to help your child cope with big feelings around Christmas time. It's aimed at children aged 7-11 because a lot happens in these years that can impact a child's emotional well-being, not just now but for years to come. Your child will be guided, with the help of Dash - a friendly and supportive character they can identify with - through fun and engaging activities which are interspersed with useful tips, inspirational statements and practical information for parents.  Product Information:  • ISBN:  9781837991730 • Author: Poppy O'Neill  • Publisher: Octopus Publishing Group • Format:  Paperback • Pages:  144 • Dimensions: 20.5 x 15.8 cm
