Coping Toolkit for Kids: Psychosocial Workbook for Children

Coping Toolkit for Kids is a comprehensive, evidence-based workbook that helps children and teens build social-emotional and psychological skills. Grounded in CBT, DBT, and rational-emotive techniques, it guides young readers to identify and regulate their emotions, improve self-awareness and self-worth, and develop healthier relationships. Central to the program are the Cope Crew—Timmy the Turtle, Lea the Leopard, Koa the Koala, and Ceasar the Lion—who offer age-appropriate insights, relatable scenarios, and engaging activities.Across four parts, the book covers: (1) psychoeducation on the brain and emotions; (2) behavioural strategies for emotional regulation and decision-making; (3) calming techniques that activate the parasympathetic system; and (4) social-emotional growth, including identity, interpersonal skills, and gratitude. Readers learn to recognize thoughts that influence feelings, challenge negative thinking, and apply practical tools to reduce distress, stay composed, and navigate daily challenges. A strengths-based, holistic approach emphasizes resilience, social connections, and living with gratitude for the positive aspects of life. Read more
