The One and Only You! How to Be the Best, Truest, You-est You by Nicole Jon Sievers

The One and Only You! How to Be the Best, Truest, You-est You by Nicole Jon Sievers

At last, a book for tweens on learning to own and love being who you are--in all your messy, beautiful uniqueness

Jam packed with fun illustrations, ample opportunities for self-exploration, and open spaces for creativity--The One and Only You is an emotions workbook for kids in fourth through sixth grades. Topics include:

• brain science
• growth mindset and grit
• automatic negative thoughts and how to work with them
• why community engagement matters
• how to make better decisions

Tweens also will learn the value of belonging, diversity, internal motivation, and compassion as well as the power in being ridiculously yourself.

Given current rates of teen depression, anxiety, and suicide--and the fact that anxiety affects nearly one-third of adolescents today--The One and Only You arms kids early enough in their lives with social-emotional skills that they might reach their teen years resilient and ready to talk back to their negative thoughts.

The One and Only You also features an appendix for teachers, counselors, youth group leaders, parents, and other caring adults of innovative group enrichment activities for enhancing classroom social-emotional learning for tweens.
