Help your child face all of life’s challenges with confidence. Based on the innovative Coping Cat program, this book offers a proven-effective “recipe” for raising resilient kids!

We live in an age of anxiety. Amidst climate change, natural disasters, a troubled economy, and the pressures inherent in social media, consumerist culture, and academic success, it’s no wonder our kids are anxious and stressed out.

Written by two pioneering experts in child psychology and anxiety, The Resilience Recipe provides a solid action plan to help your child feel strong and capable in the face of unprecedented challenges. Grounded in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Drs. Khanna and Kendall provide techniques to teach kids how to re-wire their flight response. You will learn how to help kids control their moods and emotions; cope with difficult experiences; and recognize the first signs of stress and anxiety in both their mind and body. From taking on challenges head-on, to relaxing breathing exercises, these techniques can help them throughout their lives. Parents will also discover a wealth of tips and strategies to help manage their own anxiety.
