Welcome to Coping Skills for Kids
Welcome Happily Family visitors - I’m so glad you’re here!
Here is a little bit more information about me and my company, Coping Skills for Kids.
About JANINE
Janine Halloran is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a mom of 2. She is the author of the #1 Bestseller Coping Skills for Kids Workbook. As a counselor working primarily with children and adolescents for the last 18 years, Janine has seen the value of learning healthy coping skills early in life. Children who can cope in healthy ways will be more resilient and manage stress better as adults.
As a parent of two, Janine has been teaching these coping skills at home to her children. She understands from first-hand experience that it’s not always perfect. She strives for making progress, however small a step it is. Janine created Coping Skills for Kids as a place where professionals and parents could get resources to teach children how to deal with their emotions in healthy ways.

Positive words about the Coping Skills for Teens Workbook!
"As I read this book my 15-year-old and I were under a tremendous amount of stress. Janine's book helped not just my teen – but me as well. We read together about the adolescent brain, which Janine writes so helpfully about in Coping Skills for Teens. We gained a new understanding of why stress happens, and how coping skills are crucial for helping people feel better in times of stress.
We've put several of Janine's coping skills into place! I watched my teenager use these coping skills in getting better, getting home, and stepping into this new normal. He is thriving because of Janine's wonderful book. As an educator and parent, I see this book as crucial for not just every teen – but every teen's family. Required reading that you will enjoy, learn from, and feel better every time you return to it for another coping skill."
