Stay Calm, Be Happy and Make Every Day Amazing!

Do kids' behaviors leave you confused and frustrated? Dayna Abraham is teaching the world there's a better way. 
 
She, too, was baffled by her son's behaviors until she realized the power of using science and child development to see him for the superkid he already was. In this revolutionary book, Dayna bridges the gap between kids and the adults who love them by empowering kids to be their own problem solvers; helping adults understand what kids really need to succeed. As a teacher, writer and mother, she explains that undesirable behaviors are really a cry for help.
 
Kids have a need, but lack the tools and skills to express it. In this book, she gives kids fun projects and tools that boost their ability to control their behaviors, explain how they're feeling and gain confidence. Dayna has a talent to understand kids, meet them on their level and motivate them. At the same time parents, teachers and caretakers see life from a kid's perspective, helping to avoid arguments.
 
Each of the 75 unique sensory-rich projects in The Superkids Activity Guide to Conquering Every Day will help kids navigate the most challenging times of day. Whether kids struggle to get out the door in the morning or hate to sit for homework, this is the book for you. Kids will be begging to clean their room, their dinner plates, and more with exciting activities such as: 

- Magnetic Morning Routines to help kids visualize their time and tasks to stay on track
