The concepts within are delivered in bite size increments.  My children have enjoyed working through the books both in a group setting and on their own.  Concepts that can be difficult for parents to explain or convey are made easier.  It does use scenarios my teens don't completely understand like cutting, not eating, and other self harming ideas and I had to explain some of this to them.  However even this offered an opportunity to explain things they may come in contact with in the future with other teens and adults.  Overall it is an excellent tool to teach teens to cope with their emotions and the emotions of others as well, how to step back and assess a situation, and gives them tools to enable them to make more informed and thought through decisions.

I purchased this book on a free promo. I noticed that it's based on Ms. Payne's Christian fiction stories. However, even if you haven't read the books, the workbook is a great bible study workbook that teaches women to connect with one another in both spiritual and practical ways. She includes ideas on how to help within the community and make a difference in the lives of others. This book is refreshing from other Bible study workbooks. It doesn't assume that people know the Bible or how to live the truths contained within it. Instead, it starts with very basic truths and applications that anyone can learn. She also provides simple advice on how to start a prayer support network. If you are new to Christianity or have never really applied your faith, you will find this workbook very helpful.

I have read this cover to cover and I recommend the workbook too. I have loaned this book to several friends and they wound up buying their own copy.  We used the workbook in our group.

I was delighted to discover this workbook for Self Therapy for the Inner Critic. It makes so many of the basic concepts of IFS easily accessible. Each page explores and clarifies one concept, in a clear and efficient way. The questions and exercises really aid in deeper understanding, and the combination of illustrations and cognitive prompting works to stimulate and educate. I appreciated the sequencing and the flow of this workbook. It takes the student smoothly from one idea to the next, helping the integration of what can be complex material. I can easily see it being useful for a broad spectrum of IFS students, from adolescents and young adults to clients who are just learning to work with this model. I so appreciate that Bonnie and Jay have brought this important and powerful healing tool to the general public in such an accessible way.

I am home schooling my daughter and this workbook has been an excellent source to help her improve in language arts. I even purchased the teachers edition and it is very user friendly.

Better Days is an excellent workbook that uses reflective questions about the personal recovery journey along with the author's own thoughtful and inspiring words of wisdom and hope.  It can be used as a jumping point for journaling or as worksheets straight from the book.  Anyone in recovery from mental health issues and/or addictions can learn to appreciate their struggles and their own personal journey to recovery, from this book.  Worksheets include topics such as Self Awareness, Coping Skills, Fun and Enjoyment, Recovery Planning, Ups and Downs, We Can't Control Everything, Being in the Moment, Having Patience, Living the Life You Want to Live, Meaningful Activities, Resiliency, Time Management, Working through Pain, The Value in Our Struggle, Expectations, Gratitude List, and several others.  The reflective questions are deep and relevant, yet do not feel too overwhelming.  There is no right answer, and everyone will have their own ways to respond.

In this companion workbook to his Whole-Brain Child book, Daniel Siegel focuses on the way a parent's mental health affects the child. Children are sensitive to a parent's moods. The way a parent praises, punishes and understands the child can affect both neurological and behavioral development.

I think the workbook can be most helpful if you're already familiar with Siegel's work. However,  he includes enough explanation of his principles that the workbook can be used by anyone motivated to use the techniques to understand and help their child mature. The workbook is filled with exercises for the parents aimed at having them understand their motivations. This is an excellent approach because it's not so much the child's behavior as the parent's response that determines how well or poorly the child develops.

The book discusses how the brain works in language that is easily understandable by parents with no formal education in behavioral therapy. It is easy to read and contains amusing cartoons to illustrate some of the principles. There are also exercises to do with your child which are easily understandable by elementary school and older children.

I recommend this workbook and the book for any parent wanting to better understand and help their children mature.

I reviewed this book for PR by the Book.

This is an amazing resource for Catholic doctrine and practices. It is presented in a format that appeals to teens and young adults.  I have both the ebook and a hard copy.  Possibly purchasing several copies for use in the Youth Ministry at the parish.

I have been a  practicing LCSW for 17 years and have found this book to be my new FAVORITE!  It is a terrific asset that is delightfully illustrated!  It is a book that is easily incorporated into practice with young children but honestly as an adult I truly enjoyed it! There are useful workbook type exercises. The real life stories are easy for young children to relate to and the book is very well organized. Highly recommend this for practicing therapists, teachers, counselors or  parents.

My children are homeschooled and this workbook has been the best thing we ever bought.  I love the fact that they stick with the theme for a while instead of jumping from subject to subject every page you turn.  The sticker reward system is a great idea, my kids love that.  This book really is excelloent!

Wonderful book to help teens understand their identity in Christ.  I love the adult version and this teen version takes the same information but makes it more relevant to teen circumstances.  The examples are relevant to 12-18 year olds.  I highly recommend this for all teens and even preteens.  It's so important for them to understand that they are loved and valuable not because of external appearances or circumstances but because they are a child of God.  We all want to know that we matter and are loved regardless of our doubts.  This book will help your Christian teen understand and fight those doubts with the word of God!  There is a list of "Who I Am in Christ" and each point is supported with a scripture reference.  Also, a list titled, "Since I am in Christ, by the grace of God I am..."  This list also included scripture references.  Both lists are great to help a teen feel "God-confidence". There is even a Bible study at the back of the book to correspond with each chapter.  Good for group or independent study.

I was so happy to find a workbook for CC Algebra. I found the worksheets and homework assignments very useful.  I have not used the answer key- I do the worksheets myself so I really can't comment on how accurate they are.  I do really like the workbook and use it often.  It is a helpful resource for this confusing and new curriculum.

I plan to utilize this workbook with my elementary, middle and high school students.  It's about time the shift returns to focusing on the strengths of students!

I am currently the youth director for my church youth group. This first couple of years, I went over things that I thought teenagers cared about or had concerns about. After doing research, I found this devotional and I love it. The students are given a devotional schedule and we go over anything that they read that week that they found or had interest in. The topics in it, though sometimes are about going to college or finishing high school, could be used by people of any age. It focuses on building relationships with Christ and how to understand the bible in every day life. My youth members always say that making time to read the bible was difficult in their busy life, but reading this devotional and spending a few minutes with God was easy.

I used some of the worksheets in this book with an adolescent that was struggling with complicated grief following the death of a sibling.  A few of the worksheets I used during the sessions to help normalize the experience and to open a way for deeper discussions.  Others I gave as suggested homework.  Both the adolescent and the mother gave feedback the situation was improving. I'd highly recommend it -- even experienced counselors can benefit from incorporating these easy to use worksheets.
