Description

Strategies for Managing and Adapting to the Changing World

By: Ester R.A. Leutenberg and Carol Butler-Cooper, MS Ed, RN, C

This workbook was developed due to the concerns about young children’s and teens’ reactions to the pandemic. This crisis has impacted our young people in numerous ways. Many Jr. High and High School students were not able to have a graduation ceremony. Young people are struggling with virtual classes and living in homes where no parent is available during the day because they have to work to provide for their families.

Ester and Carol have written many books on anxiety, coping, life management, mindfulness, character building, etc., but none of them really addresses being in the middle of a world-wide crisis.
