When you’re a kid, growing up can be hard. The 58 cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) practices in this deck were created just for young people to help them manage stressful moments, overcome negative thinking, and find moments of peace. This beautifully illustrated deck will help kids and teens: - Build coping skills that will last a lifetime - Quiet anxiety and worry - Navigate difficult emotions - Choose actions that make life better - Relax into the present This card deck is one of the most engaging, effective emotional health tools I have ever seen available for children and teens. The content is powerful, yet the cards have an inviting, gentle flow that makes them highly appealing. CBT and mindfulness are presented through practical, engaging activities that children, teens and even adults will find highly useful. I heartily recommend it to therapists, counselors, teachers, and parents so that as many children and teens as possible have access to this wonderful therapeutic card deck. --Jeffrey Bernstein, PhD, psychologist, parent coach, and best-selling author of 10 Days to a Less Defiant Child (2nd ed.) and The Anxiety, Depression, & Anger Toolbox for Teens Seth Gillihan has created another wonderful collection of fun, easy-to-use tools for kids and teens to access all the science-backed strategies of cognitive-behavioral therapy. What makes this deck unique is that he co-created it with his daughter! With their wonderful collaboration as inspiration, I find myself wanting to not only offer this deck with great practices like "Be Your Own Friend" and "Fortune-Telling" to my own kids, but to create something with them as well! ―Mitch Abbett, PhD, author of Prizeworthy: How to Meaningfully Connect, Build Character and Unlock the Potential of Every Child As a clinical psychologist in private practice I am always looking for new materials to use with the children I provide counseling. The CBT Deck for Kids and Teens is a wonderful resource. I have seen the value of using cognitive behavioral therapy with children for years and this easy to use set of cards reminds children about all of the ways they have the power and ability to change the way they think, feel and act. The cards provide a child-friendly model of the therapeutic approach and also include many practical, helpful reminders about how to be more mindful and intentional. There are also many valuable reminders about overall health and wellness, and even explanations about why limiting screen time is so critical. I am thankful Seth and his daughter took the time to create this tool. I highly recommend these cards to kids, parents, coaches, and professionals such as teachers and counselors, or anyone who works with children. --Paul Kesselman, PsyD, Clinical Psychologist The CBT Deck for Kids and Teens is a terrific way to introduce young people to the principles and skills of CBT: skills that have helped countless kids build confidence, resilience, and a greater sense of agency in the world. Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, or a therapist, the CBT Deck for Kids is a great way for kids to dip their toes in the life-changing world of CBT. I highly recommend it. ―Michael A.
