Solution Detectives

Did you know that a slice of pizza can help you understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour? Solution Detective counsellors, Hawkshaw and Gumshoe, are here to show you how

So begins a fun and kid-friendly introduction to the components of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and a fresh, inclusive guide for parents, counsellors, and psychologists working with children aged six to twelve. In this innovative, practical book, registered clinical counsellor Patrice Weibelzahl offers gentle, conversational insight into the realities of issues facing children today. She explains, and makes accessible, the science of the triune brain, how to recognize common negative thought patterns, and help children develop new coping strategies through the process of "truth detecting." Chapter by chapter, new characters are introduced. Everyday challenges-such as anxiety, bullying, adjustment to parental separation, attending a new school, making friends, sleep disorders, anger, and grief-are explored with the support of Solution Detectives, Hawkshaw and Gumshoe.

Complete with age-appropriate strategies, diagrams, worksheets, "Be a Solution Detective" tableaux, and beautiful illustrations, Solution Detectives offers a structured yet engaging approach to cultivating emotional regulation and critical thinking skills so that children develop greater self-confidence as they apply the concepts presented.
