A note for you on every activity
At the bottom of every activity there are a few lines for the grown-up: what to ask, and what to leave alone.
Your child gets the drawing. You get the conversation.
1 · My Team Bus · For you
Don't correct the list. If the dog is on the bus, the dog is on the bus. Then ask: what does this person do that helps you? The answer tells you more than the names.
I put together this little activity book as a companion to my book, The Manual, hoping to give children and grown-ups another way to explore feelings and understand each other.
Choose any page, follow your child's lead and leave room for their own ideas. There are no wrong answers and no need to do everything perfectly.
I am a mother, not a doctor or a therapist.
If your child's worry, anger or sadness is not easing, or it gets in the way of sleep, school or friendships, talk to your child's doctor. If you are worried about their safety right now, call your local emergency number.

Questions
What age is it for?
Children 5 to 10. For little ones, you read the words aloud. Older children can do most pages on their own, with you nearby for the talking part. Two pages, the Calm-Down Cubes, need scissors and glue.
Can I print it at home?
Yes. It is an A4 PDF. On US Letter paper, choose "Fit to page" when you print.
How many copies can I print?
As many as your own family needs, for every child and every time they want a fresh page. Please do not share the file or print it for a class or a group.
Is this therapy?
No. It is an activity book for home, not therapy and not a diagnosis.
I already have The Manual. Do I need this?
No. It is already yours: it is on your Manual download page, under its own button.
Will I get updates?
If I update the file, your access link opens the latest version.
Can I get a refund?
