One thing I have never had an issue spending money on is books. Books are worth their weight in gold as far as I am concerned. I loved to read as a child and hope that that has passed down to my kids. Kristina is struggling to read, she can read but is at the bottom of her grade level with reading. I will buy any books for her to help to interest her in reading and do just about anything to encourage her.
When I had the chance to review some books and give some away from Free Spirit Publishing I was all over it. Free Spirit Publishing doesn't carry your typical fairy and dragon books. They have books about behaviour, life changes, social skills and so much more.
Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Free Spirit Publishing is known for its unique understanding of what kids want (and need) to know to navigate life successfully. Our reputation as the groundbreaking publisher of SELF-HELP FOR KIDS® and SELF-HELP FOR TEENS® is rooted in books and other learning materials that are practical, positive, pro-kid, and solution focused. We’re not afraid to tackle tough topics such as teen depression, kids and anxiety, grief and loss, juvenile justice, and conflict resolution. Free Spirit also offers sound advice with a sense of humor on relevant issues including stress management, character building, puberty, school success, self-esteem, and more. We aim to meet all kids—toddlers, teens, and in-betweens—where they are (not where we wish they were), and support them to develop their talents, build resiliency, and foster a positive outlook on life so they can reach their goals.
Kristina and Brandon both received some books from Free Spirit Publishing and they are huge hits. Brandon got some board books about being kind to animals, saying goodbye, and tidying up. Not only are they well illustrated and written they are about things that we all want our children to learn about. They are either life lessons of just day to day things that we all do. They are easy to read and long enough to get the point across yet short enough to keep his attention throughout the entire book. They are also great for when your child is learning to read.
The books Kristina got are great as well. She got a book about ways to get into nature and how to build a greener future. It has 150 ideas on how to do it and of course there are the ride your bike and be an example ideas (not that those are bad ideas they are just old) it also has some really new great ideas too! She also got a book about hurtful words and how to play it safe. The Words are not for hurting book is for 4-8 and they have a board book as well for the younger crowd. I just can't say enough about how well written these books are. They really spent the time to use just the write words, and are the right length and can really hold your child's interest. I would recommend these to anyone!

We could probably use quite a few of these books because we have some behaviour issues with our youngest son.
So i would choose
Cool Down and Work Through Anger,
Listening Time,
Share and Take Turns,
Know and Follow Rules
i think these would help
