It's a growingly competitive world. Kids can become self critical during times of stress at school, sports or just family activities. Dr. Paoni needed a tool to help her patients recognize the different internal stresses and then have a basis to overcome these patterns. So she wrote a book! Dr. Paoni states," Dylan’s Hero: A Story of Overcoming Negative Thinking is a relatable story for kids who experience anxiety, discouragement and self-criticism. This story incorporates a cognitive-behavioral approach that explores the worrier, critic, perfectionist and victim internal dialogue. A note for parents is included to encourage more positive self-talk with their children. Mental health professionals may find this to be a useful therapy tool to help kids identify negative self-talk and promote adaptive counter-statements." With colorful illustrations by artist Christy Freeman, the story of Dylan and his internal nay-sayers, shines light on a positive approach to self-esteem, self-criticism, worrying and self-doubt. Age range: 7-11 year old (message is wonderful for all ages) To purchase, visit AMAZON here or contact us directly. Bulk discounts for teachers and therapists!
