My Very Exciting, Sorta Scary, Big Move

Lori Attanasio Woodring, Ph.D.

Workbook

Type:

6-10 yrs

Ages:

Moving, Transition, Goodbyes

Topics:

Though not written specifically about moving overseas, this book does an excellent job addressing kids’ feelings about moving. In full-color with adorable illustrations, it begins by explaining change and goes on to teach kid-friendly strategies for handling emotions like sadness, anger & worry using behavioral therapy techniques. Kids are given ways to try these out and encouraged to put their favorites into their “Sad Sack” “Mad Sack” and “Worry Sack” to pull out when needed. The book also does a good job helping kids say goodbye well, and covers some parts of settling in.
