Some kids respond better to one technique and others to another. That's why counselors need a variety of choices. Counselors are different also. Some like activities, some discussion, some art, some craft projects, some worksheets. That's why this book is a compilation of a variety of effective techniques used by 10 of Marco's published authors. Not only will you find new ideas for techniques you have been using, but you may also decide to try a new and different technique. The attached CD features color PDF files of the reproducible pages. Grades K-8.

The earlier the age at which life-skill lessons are taught to young children, the more opportunity young children have to develop positive social skills, make good decisions, and succeed in life. Jellybean Jamboree brings different life-skill topics to the world of the very young child. The topics are presented in six units, and young children associate these important topics with their jellybean counterparts. Each unit contains short, to-the-point lessons followed by fun-to-do activity sheets. Children will delight as: Angry Arlene, The Grumpy Red Jellybean teaches them to identify their anger points and handle anger in an acceptable manner. Emotional Eugene, The Feeling Blue Jellybean examines the emotions of happiness, sadness, hurt, and everyday feelings.
