How not to Stress-Out

Stress is one of the largest causes of illness and unhappiness. Very few people have been taught coping strategies on how to cope with stress. In this book, Lesley talks about what causes stress and different types of stress. She then expands on how to treat each of these stressors with different techniques, some that can easily be applied on your own. She has used photos of her animals to depict the meanings of the different types of stress. This is a great book for all ages as it teaches you coping strategies to improve your life. The pictures will draw the children in to open up and share their problems and at the end, there are the "Help me Cope activities" which brings it all together and helps them understand what they need to do in their own lives to decrease their stress. Some of the things they might not even have been aware of.
