While growing up has never been easy, today's world presents kids and their parents with unprecedented challenges. The upside, posits Maureen Healy, is a widespread acknowledgment that emotional health, resilience, and equilibrium can be learned and strengthened. Healy is an expert on teaching skills that address the high sensitivity, big emotions, and hyper energy she herself experienced growing up. Three simple steps are key — Stop, Calm, and Make Smarter Choices. While not always easy, these steps are powerful, and Healy shows readers exactly how to implement them. Children move from acting out or shutting down, experiencing frequent physical symptoms such as head- and stomachaches, or hurting themselves or others, to recognizing they are being triggered, feeling their emotions, and using mindfulness strategies to respond from a calmer place.

      Child development expert Healy (Growing Happy Kids) describes her younger self as a wild child with many allergies, highly sensitive, who cried when teased, and felt things deeply. Specializing in holistic health, the author details steps to "stop, calm, and make smarter choices" (those that are good for the child and others). The focus here is on teaching children to master their emotions and move forward on their own unique paths toward wholeness through developing a healthy mind-set and habits. Healy demonstrates how the emotionally healthy child names feelings in themselves and others, expresses them constructively, uses self-control, responds instead of reacts, and maintains equilibrium even when challenged. The work's second part is devoted to a mindfulness toolbox, which includes positive hints and suggestions for readers to incorporate in their daily lives. VERDICT This work will resonate with educators and child development professionals but especially appeal to parents of emotionally sensitive children.
