Let Your North Star Shine: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Skills for Kids

By Joanna M Deshmukh

Let Your North Star Shine is a therapeutic children's book that incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) concepts and teaches effective experiential skills for youth in grade school. The experiential skills highlight mindfulness techniques that help children better identify and manage challenging feelings and thoughts so that they can live a more values-driven life. Children, parents, and mental health clinicians can explore uniquely created kid-friendly ACT principles, including cognitive defusion techniques which help people get unstuck from painful thoughts such as those related to self-criticism, blame, and worries about the future. Let Your North Star Shine helps children develop self-compassion and mindful breathing skills and identify their top five values that can help guide action steps every day, in large or small acts.
