“Siblings Without Rivalry” by Adele Farber and Elaine Mazlish

The title is self-explanatory. If your children are arguing and you don’t know how to proceed, this book is a fantastic resource.

“The Kissing Hand” by Audrey Penn

This is a short storybook for kids who are transitioning back into school; it’s a great before-bed read as the school year, or any transition, begins. It’s available in paperback or audio, attached through the link above.

“The Invisible String” by Patrice Karst

This short storybook is a great resource for kids experiencing separation anxiety. Use this book as a resource for your child if they’re dealing with anxiety.

We hope these resources can be beneficial for you and your family and will continue to share resources we’ve found beneficial within our treatment. For more support, connect with a member of Decade2Connect today.
