The Thriving at Home workbook was shared with me by another HUUSD school counselor. I think it is a great resource. Families can pick and choose from the provided activities, such as setting up a play space, using a rock and Play-Doh analogy to talk about what we can and cannot control, identifying comforts to help us manage stress, and checking our emotions using the Zones of Regulation and the characters from Inside Out. From the author, a parent and play therapist:
Although this time is challenging, it can also be a time for fulfillment. This workbook is intended to provide you with activities to address and explain hard feelings while working together to connect, regulate and play. May this book serve as a positive memory for you and your family as you look back on this time
