Renew a Sense of Self in your Students
It’s never been more challenging to be a young person than it is now. Children in fourth through eighth grades are inundated with social media, peer pressure, and the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic in their school and home lives.
Educators and counselors are in the privileged position to help with the task of guiding young people to drown out the “noise” and embrace their unique and authentic selves. The One and Only You! was developed as a guidebook for you and the tweens in your life. We intend to cultivate a sense of compassion and creativity in our youth – and help rebuild communities in which they can survive.
Packed with worksheets, games, neuroscience facts, guided exercises, and more, this book helps tweens become ridiculously themselves in the best possible way. Give them – and yourself – this gift with The One and Only You!
