I love the beautifully illustrated Train Your Mind Like a Ninja card deck! The authors own ninja skills are apparent as they masterfully adapted the wisdom of mindful awareness for young minds, while preserving the power of the techniques. I ll enjoy using these cards myself. Seth J. Gillihan, PhD, clinical psychologist and co-author of The CBT Deck for Kids and Teens and A Mindful Year
Train Your Mind Like a Ninja is a cute, fun, and useful card deck for kids. Having worked with kids for years on emotional regulation, I know how important it is to have evidence-based relaxation strategies that actually work. Making it fun, like this card deck, means kids will actually use the skills that they desperately need. Reading through the deck, I kept picturing different clients who would love the cute illustrations, easy directions, and Ninja imagery. Practical and enjoyable!
