Stop and Think Workbook, Second Edition PDF

I purchased the Stop and Think Workbook by Phillip Kendal and was pretty unimpressed with the appearance - but we shouldn't judge a workbook by its cover. It was a spiral bound photocopied Kinko's style workbook that I bought off of Amazon. It did have some interesting lessons inside it though. The nice thing is that it gave my son and I some time to work through some exercises 3-4 times per week... some good together time.

The basis of the exercises is to put the child into situations where they will fail or come close to failing at which time you help them learn to STOP and THINK. Essentially, the workbook contains a number of games the two of you can play together (or you can pay a therapist big bucks - no need to do that!). During these games you ask your child to walk you through their thought process when approaching a difficult or challenging part of the game. You try to get them to come up with alternative options, hopefully helping them to logically decide the best course of action before their impulses kick in. Your child verbally iterates his thought process and soon, after much repetition, this become the type of inner dialogue your child will have when faced with difficult situations in the future.

The workbook also contains a nice little reward system for doing a good job. In each session your child starts with 5 "bucks"... each time they act on impulse you take a buck away... (of course the first few times you do this it gives you the opportunity to take another buck away because they explode again, but they get it pretty quickly). Any bucks left at the end of the session go into the child's buck bank... those bucks can be used later for picking out a prize.

Another good lesson...
