Karen Young Hey Warrior
Empower children to manage their anxiety by learning that it comes from a place of protective strength within their brains—the amygdala—a tiny but fierce personal “warrior” that prepares us to fight or flee danger, even when we don’t need or want its protection! Wonderful illustrations and keen insights gently teach children how to be the boss of their brains and let their warriors know when to stand down and relax through positive thinking and breathing exercises. By understanding the physical science of anxiety and why their brains produce it, children can then learn to master it as a positive, friendly superpower.

Michelle Garcia Winner, Pamela Crooke, Linda K Murphy, Dominique Baudry Tweens & Teens Resource Bundle (updated 2026)
The social world is complicated. So are tweens and teens. They typically don’t want to be told what to do yet still struggle to solve their problems independently. As social learners, they need guidance and support in a way that feels right and makes sense to them. Sometimes with humor but always encouraging them to learn how the social world works so they can logically learn new social competencies to help them meet their own goals. This collection provides a range of information, visual supports, hands-on strategies, and tools to best meet their needs and developmental ages. The social mind is dynamic. It changes and evolves continuously throughout the tween and teen years as kids begin to forge a stronger sense of self. But as they age, the social world also expands in its complexity. Expectations for how a child makes sense of the social world, socially responds, and acts and reacts seem to shift and transform suddenly as more sophisticated social landscapes emerge on the horizon. The upshot? The older the kid, the more to teach and students to learn in their development of social and organizational competencies. This Tweens & Teens Bundle showcases a variety of ways to introduce and explore the multifaceted aspects of the social world based on a wide range of individuals’ social, emotional, and academic learning needs and their developmental ages. Inside the bundle: Brain Hacks – Graphic Novel Thinksheets for Brain Hacks The Feelings Scale Social Situation Mapping Tools to Try Cards for Tweens & Teens The Social Media Workbook for Teens Social Thinking and Me Two-Book Set Socially Curious and Curiously Social 3rd Edition Should I? or Shouldn't I?
