Coping Skills in a Cookie?
Yes!
Coping skills are imperative for success in life, and we can help kids bolster up these skills from a young age.
Younger children can face challenges for which they lack skills to solve. Encouraging conversation around these issues can make the problem seem less daunting, promote positive problem-solving skills and help adults see what skills-deficits exist, identifying areas that need more exploration, support and skills instruction.
