Am I A Rabbit? Kristin Heins

This book series is designed to help teach parents and children to navigate the feelings, thinking and decision making processes that ultimately shape the people we are in the world. Using these books, children will develop specific skills to improve emotional regulation, heighten interpersonal skills, develop compassion, and understand and utilize a clear intellect.

Am I A Rabbit? explores the concept of fear and the resultant anxiety that children may experience. Using rhymes and engaging illustrations, the book loosens the grip that fear creates by highlighting tangible cognitive tools to re-perceive the fear triggers. The book also provides a framework for understanding the present moment, since much of anxiety is experienced by notions of either past or future perceptions. By means of intellectualized grounding techniques, children are taught in a supportive manner how to distinguish between useful and defeating fears, and how to build their esteem through critical thinking.

This book is ideal for caregivers, educators, child support workers and therapists to approach fears delicately and from different perspectives, helping to build a lasting set of skills to overcome a common childhood stress.
