The Teens’ Workbook to Self Regulate: Empowering Teenagers to Handle Emotions with Success through Coping Strategies and CBT Exercises (Successful Parenting)
£14.20
On the surface, you see a highly sensitive and irritable teenager. But look closer, and you will notice a kid showing signs of emotional distress.
Research shows that modern teenagers—our beloved Gen Zers—experience similar stress levels as adults. However, unlike adults who have been exposed to various coping mechanisms, young people are often confused about ways to cope with stress.
Now more than ever, parents are stepping up and teaching their teens how to psychologically equip themselves for modern challenges. After all, we can’t leave it up to school teachers or social media influencers to prepare our children for the world!
But as much as teens need the support, they desire to work through their problems, at their own pace, in their own time.
The combination of psychotherapy and self-directed learning is an effective way for teenagers to learn about healthy coping strategies, in their own time, in the comfort of their bedrooms.
Without any external pressure, teens are able to study and practice various mind and body techniques and create their own toolkits of useful skills to manage stress and anxiety.
The Teens’ Workbook to Self-Regulate is a valuable resource that introduces modern teenagers to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a form of psychotherapy created to develop emotional regulation and behavioral modification skills.
The workbook is broken down into two parts: cognitive techniques and behavioral techniques, and provides teens with exercises that reinforce the following skills:
- Understanding the impact of negative thinking in shaping beliefs, motivations, and worldviews.
- Learning how to identify, describe, and manage strong emotions without hurting themselves or others.
- Finding healthy alternative strategies to cope with stress and anxiety without succumbing to urges.
- Knowing how and when to stop, breathe, and return to a normal state when feeling overwhelmed.
These skills—and many more—are taught over 42 age-appropriate exercises, which are designed to help teens between the ages of 13 and 19 reflect on their personal life experiences and examine their own thoughts and behaviors.
The workbook will not only serve as a companion for your child during stressful life events but will also help them prepare for future challenges that require mental and emotional resilience.
So, what are you still waiting for? Make an investment in your teen’s mental health, and get yourself a copy of The Teens’ Workbook to Self-Regulate, today!

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.

It’s very text heavy, my daughter is 12 and it seemed like homework, plus she felt even more anxious about having to answer questions like, have you had a traumatic experience, write about it here… etc Perhaps more helpful for older teens.

This book is really great, bought another for work !
by C. Pengelly
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.
