VandenBos, PhD, senior professional consultant for the National Register of Health Service Psychologists, and coauthor of Leaving It at the Office--Gary R. VandenBos, PhD"Im so happy that Elisa Nebolsine wrote this book about the important topic of grit! Elisa is an exceptional psychotherapist, and she shares her deep understanding of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in a way that is extremely user-friendly for children. This book teaches kids about the skills that contribute to perseverance and resilience, including mindfulness, stress management, and CBT skills for self-assessment, problem-solving, and talking back to self-defeating thoughts. Elisa encourages kids to engage in a number of exercises for developing these skills and putting them into action--and she offers them tools for charting their progress in each area. The Grit Workbook for Kids is written in a conversational style that is clear, straightforward, and encouraging, but does not talk down to kids. And the wonderful illustrations help to make the book accessible to children. Its a winning combination that makes this an important new contribution to the library of self-help books for young people." --Bill Stixrud, PhD, clinical neuropsychologist, and coauthor of The Self-Driven Child--Bill Stixrud, PhD"This workbook is an invaluable resource for anyone with children in their lives--parents, teachers, child care providers, and others.
