Taking CHARGE of My Rainbow of Emotions, Facilitator’s Guide and Workbook by AAPC Publishing

Starting with checklists for assessing one’s emotions, this innovative resource goes on to provide caregivers with a framework for giving students the tools they need to become effective emotional managers. Using the visual of a tool belt, strategies are grouped into the following categories: Chat Tools, Help Thinking Tools, Amusement Tools, Relaxation Tools, Good Routine Tools, and Exercise Tools. Lots of forms and visuals make this a practical and ready-to-use guide.

Why we like it: Especially recommended for professionals who work mainly with children and adolescents — this book would be a wonderful addition to their library.
