The Teens' Workbook to Self Regulate: Empowering Teenagers to Handle Emotions with Success through Coping Strategies and CBT Exercises (Successful Parenting)

I bought this book as a gift, but it is definitely a rebuy for me.

Good

To help me learn

A useful guide to support the emotions with an aim to independently regulate!

This book is really great, bought another for work !

Great book

I will not be giving this book to the person I bought it for. It seems quite inappropriate in the language it uses and examples it gives, I was quite shocked to read it. Early on there is a section on trauma which asks ‘do you suspect you may be living with trauma?’ And then gives a list of awful experiences you may have been exposed to. Then there is a depersonalisation quiz where you grade to what extent you have lost the essence of your personality, amongst other things.. To me it doesn’t seem aimed at a teen audience and doesn’t seem to offer any comfort or support for the extreme emotions it suggests people may feel. I would hope they would get more help than this book. It seems to have helped others from the reviews but for me it’s going in the recycling. Also I think it’s self published which may mean less oversight of the content.

This book looks great, but for older teens. I bought it for my 11 year old who is struggling with frustration and emotional regulation, but I can't give it to him because it does talk about self harm and sexual abuse, two topics he doesn't know about or need to know about at this stage.

The "Teens Workbook to Self-Regulate" authored by Richard Bass is a remarkable and invaluable resource designed to empower teenagers on their journey of self-discovery and emotional regulation. This workbook goes beyond the typical self-help guide, providing a hands-on and interactive approach tailored specifically to the unique challenges and experiences of adolescence.

What challenge were you hoping the book would help with? I wanted a resource to support my daughter and nephew as they navigated life‑changing trauma. My daughter was already in therapy, and I hoped this workbook would reinforce what she was learning. For my teen nephew, I needed something that could help him express emotions he didn’t yet know how to describe. What was your biggest takeaway or favorite strategy? The guided questions were the most impactful. They are simple, direct, and designed to help teens identify what they’re feeling while offering clear direction toward solutions. The workbook explains complex emotional ideas in a way that feels accessible and supportive.

I liked how the author really considered what parents and their kids need to reflect and to feel better. Mental health is such an important topic for teens since social media is their go to "get away". Absolutely support this movement and would describe this book as a great and easy tool for kids/youngsters. Would recommend.

Lots of really useful worksheets for teens to work through their problems.

This workbook is broken down into two parts being cognitive techniques and behavioral techniques This workbook provides teens with exercises that reinforce the many different skills such as navigating different emotions, how to manage stress in a healthy way, how to regulate and come back to earth whenever your feeling overwhelmed etc. Very educational books that I had bought for my son.
