The Invisible String Workbook: Creative Activities to Comfort, Calm, and Connect (The Invisible String, 2)

Such a great work book for kids - it’s gentle in Sutle yet sturdy and oh so pretty!

An emergency happened and I wasn’t able to be with my children for an extended amount of time. This book came in at the perfect time and brought comfort to my kids who were feeling homesick.

This companion workbook that reinforces the book, The Invisible String, by the same author, incorporates the expertise of Dana Wyss, PhD, trauma-informed teacher. The activities and journaling are appropriate for all ages. Young children who are pre-reading and pre-writing can work with adults and utilize their art skills and storytelling to express their ideas and emotions. The activities include coloring pages, word searches, journaling, letter writing, charades, and more. Each activity outlines the project with activity, supplies, directions, and goals to help the adults and older children navigate the book with ease. The illustrations that decorate the activities are culturally inclusive allowing children to see themselves. This workbook is an invitation to young children, teens, and adults. The workbook is 113 pages long and doesn't cut corners with excessive illustrations and philosophy.-Missy Church

The workbook is a perfect companion to the book.

Recommended by school counselor after we lost our dear Nonna. My kids (6&9) had a hard time comprehending the death of their grandma. They would act out, cry, and hold in a lot of feelings. This book allowed them to ask questions age appropriate and for us as parents to explain that she will never be forgotten. A must have esp if it a first time death in the family

I am a mental health therapist. I got this book in hopes of creating solid homework assignments for my early attachment trauma clients. I found that some of the activities would be useful, but some have the assumption you already have safe/consistent people in your lives. While I would say it's good for elementary aged kiddos to have solid art projects, it would be best for those who already have resources.One great point was it covered multiple types of support and shared loves. If you have third culture kids or are in the middle of a move and looking to build your child's security I think this would be useful for you!

Great to use with my student's who have seperation anxiety.

This workbook is a great companion to the Invisible String book. It's full of creative and thoughtful exercises on building a child's self esteem and sense of self, exploring relationship to others as well as exercises on grief and loss. As a therapist myself, I will certainly be using it with my own clients and will be recommending it to caregivers as well.

This was recommended to have handy for younger members of a family following the death of a relative. Colourful attractive illustrations ,and excellent text.Good to work through with a young child

This activity book is so remarkably set out and relatively easy to understand for my 7 year old daughter. Some of the activities require parental help but they are fun to do.

I have purchased this book several times for children of all ages

Excellent book, I use it a lot in therapy, it's become a valuable resource, I also purchased the workbook.

I bought this book for my granddaughter and it has been very helpful
