"""Emotional navigation can be so overwhelming! I often work with kids in this age group that are being treated like a 'big kid' but internally they still can use a lot of guidance from the grown-ups in their lives. This step-by-step guide to tackling tough situations through mindfulness is an accessible way to build a strong emotional vehicle to drive through life!"" --Georgette Saad, LICSW, early childhood psychotherapist ""In a sea of parenting books, experienced clinician and 'in-the-trenches' mom Katie Austin, is there with a lifeline. Austin offers practical, trustworthy techniques that even the busiest parent can use. The wisdom and empathy in this book will be sure to help any parent feel empowered.""--Dr. Rebecca Resnik, licensed psychologist, author of A Family's First Guide to ADHD ""Love this book as a practical and straightforward tool to connect with my daughter about how to use her body to recenter through mindfulness. She struggles in school with classmate stuff, and now we have something to reference when she is ready to challenge her thoughts. So grateful for this bridge for conversation!"" --Gette"
