"A fantastic tool for parents, teachers, and therapists! As a child psychologist, I’m always looking for engaging, accessible resources that help children not only feel better, but also get better at feeling—and this magnificent book from psychologist and author Dr. Jamie Duggan does exactly that. A Superhero’s Guide to Wise Mind and the Power of Perspective weaves together mindfulness, the concept of the wise mind, and emotion regulation in a way that’s both powerful and practical. It’s a resource that will enrich the emotional lives of children and families alike (and yes, parents, you’ll pick up valuable skills too!). This is a book I’ll be reaching for often in my work with families.

"Learning to identify and cope with emotions at an early age helps children in many aspects of their lives and serves as a foundation for building positive relationships with themselves and others. Dr. Duggan’s new book, Let’s Go Surfing, is an invaluable resource that teaches these skills in a child-friendly, relatable, and fun way. It’s practical and easy to follow, and the idea of creating a surf kit is a great way to set kids up for success as they grow and experience more complex emotions. The illustrations are bright, colourful, and beautiful, and the examples and worksheets are creative and hands-on ways for kids to experience and integrate the concepts introduced in the book. Let’s Go Surfing is a perfect addition to every clinician and parent’s library, and I look forward to using this book in my practice and with my own kids. Everyone can learn to surf with Dr. Duggan!"
-Dr. Fallyn Leibovitch, Ph.D., Psychologist
"A fun and accessible read for youth, parents, educators, therapists, and anyone who is in the role of “surf instructor!” Full of practical everyday strategies that we can all benefit from."
