Shake those sad feelings with support, encouragement, and ideas for
kids when they're cranky and blue.
Everyone feels "down" sometimes. Who wouldn't feel blue if their best
friend moved away or if they were being teased or bullied in school?
Counselor and clinical psychologist James J. Crist has written a book
that kids can turn to for support, encouragement, and ideas for coping
with depression or for when they feel sad, bad, grumpy, or lonely.
Kids learn ten "Blues Busters" to help shake those sad feelings. They
also discover lots of ideas they can use to talk about feelings, take
care of themselves, boost their self-esteem, make and keep friends, and
enjoy their alone time. A special section addresses hard-to-handle
problems like grief, roller-coaster feelings, and depression in
children. The book also includes resources and a note to grown-ups.
