The workbook features engaging CBT-based activities, games, and illustrations, focusing on imagination training and essential skills such as problem-solving, assertiveness, positive thinking, body awareness, relaxation, and mindfulness. This approach encourages children to confront their worries and harness their imagination for positive outcomes.
