Effective Treatment Principles Turned Into a Child’s Guide
Manny and Max On The Rise is a child’s guide for children aged 5–10 years. It’s a book for children’s caregivers or their caring readers as well.
Key Features:
In seven chapters, we follow the 6-year-old boy Manny, who undergoes personal development and becomes increasingly more independent throughout the book. He becomes brave with the support of his dog, Max, and his family. The story is inspired by everyday events that most families can relate to so that the reader can resonate and easily connect the dots.
Psychological treatment principles are unfolded with the help of storytelling. It contains just enough humor, drama, and graphics to catch the child’s attention, and a decent amount of psychological depth to make it interesting and inspiring to read.
The book is appropriate for reading aloud, one chapter at a time. The book is written by a psychologist, and it attempts to normalize strong and difficult feelings as natural elements of life, which should not hinder living an exciting and fun childhood full of adventures and play.
All children can use this book to understand their worries better, however, children who experience some problems with worry and anxiety might benefit the most. The book encourages the reader to become more independent while controlling worries in the process.
The interactive thought exercises, and use of metaphors, help grow the little reader’s courage and facilitate an encouraging conversation with their caring reader.
All guidelines in the book are based on the most recent research, so they are in line with effective treatment principles. If you are interested in reading more about the evidence, visit the back of this book.
