Book Description
In today's society, many people find themselves living through multiple, extensive, often debilitating changes in their lives. Change manifests itself in many facets of a person's life including: workplace, health, home & family, and social network.Due to all of these changes, people are increasingly facing increased perpetual levels of stress. Although change has always been a part of the lives of human beings, the rate of this change is increasing exponentially. It is the speed of change that is increasing the stress in peoples' lives. Change is not going to stop and must be managed carefully. Coping with change is rapidly becoming a critical life skill that can be the difference between living a life of success or one of disappointment. The Coping with Change Workbook contains assessments and guided self-exploration activities that can be used with a variety of populations to help participants cope more effectively with the various forms of change. Each chapter of this workbook begins with an annotated Table of Contents with notes and examples for the facilitator. Each chapter contains two primary elements: 1) A set of assessments to help participants gather information about themselves in a focused situation, and 2) a set of guided self-exploration activities to help participants process information and learn more effective ways of behaving to cope with anxiety in their lives. The activities are divided into four chapters to help you identify and select assessments easily and quickly: Chapter 1: Types of Change – This chapter helps participants identify and explore the changes that are currently occurring in their lives, as well as identify and explore the changes they anticipate in the future.Chapter 2: Change Management – This chapter helps participants identify the life skills they possess in managing the change in their lives.Chapter 3: Ways to Cope with Change – This chapter helps participants to explore how well they are coping with change in their lives, and learn some techniques for enhancing their ability to cope with change.Chapter 4: My Attitude – This chapter helps participants explore their attitudes related to future change in their lives.All of the guided activities are fully reproducible for use with your clients/participants.

Book Description
Kids and grown-ups have lots of fears, but the "unknown" edges out pretty much everything else. When something changes in a child's life, life goes from predictable and safe to confusing and kinda scary. Kids (like the rest of us) handle change best if they know what to expect, both on a day-to-day basis and long-term. Join Mia and her stuffed giraffe Stuart as they explain changes big and small, and they affect a kid's day-to-day life. Using an illustrated calendar to explain how changes affects a child's daily routine, Nothing Stays the Same But That's Okay focuses on the child's experience and removes unknowns from the equation. "Most of the time we do the same things in the mornings. We wake up. We eat breakfast. (I like apples. Stuart only eats bugs.) . . . But our days can be different. Some days we go to school, and some days are the weekend! We can see the different days on a calendar like this one. When something goes from one thing to being a different thing, it's called a change.". By creating a routine that kids can see and understand, parents can restore a sense of safety and predictability in their kids' lives, helping them to be more resilient in the face of life's inevitable challenges. Nothing Stays the Same But That's Okay is the perfect book for kids who don't handle transitions or changes very well, or who are facing big changes like starting school or getting a new sibling. It aims to empower kids with knowledge, which is proven to help kids through hard situations. Aimed at families with kids ages 4 to 10, this method of teaching is based on decades of solid science about how kids learn and cope with the major day-to-day changes that result from life's toughest stuff.
