Every fun worksheet will inspire your child with art-based activities, while also sparking insight into new concepts and deeper themes. This is a must-read for parents seeking creative and engaging tools to explore together with their kids!"" --Risa Williams, therapist and author of The Ultimate Anxiety Toolkit and The Ultimate Time Management Toolkit ""Everyone with children in their life should have this book! Art is a child's natural way of expressing themselves and this book gives parents, caregivers, and people who work with children the tools to learn how to use this language to build better, stronger relationships. Erica's talent to brilliantly translate the science behind art therapy shines throughout the pages, lighting the way for adults to learn how to use creativity and the arts as a tool to improve children's lives."" --Nadia F.
