Book Details

When someone asks how we are feeling, and a simple "fine" or "okay" won't suffice, we feel pressured. Imagine how a child feels when confronted with that same question from a parent or teacher. Thanks to licensed counselor Matthew Samford, there is an easier way to approach children about their feelings and for children to express those feelings to us. The Counselor's "T.A.G." Collection is a must-have resource filled with therapeutic games and activities aimed at helping children deal with issues such as grief, divorce, self-esteem, anger management, ADHD and many others, in a non-threatening setting.

Matthew Samford has created a wonderful collection of therapeutic games and activities for school-age children, that deals directly with the issues of grief, problem solving, divorce, self-control, social skills and self-esteem. The T.A.G. collection can be used not only by counselors, but also by parents, caregivers and teachers.
