Hornets & Hippos

Developed by licensed child psychologist, Margaret Ann Jessop, PsyD, Hornets & Hippos is a program for parents and children from 6 to 12 years old, that teaches families how anxiety, anger, and the stress responses work. The animal-friendly imagery and mindfulness techniques presented in this workbook will teach children about their 'hornet-brain' (amygdala) and 'hippo-brain' (hippocampus), and offer them ways to reduce and manage high anxiety and stress moments.Inside this workbook, you and your child will discover helpful worksheets, guided meditations, and other easy-to-remember techniques that will, over time, develop a home routine to help your child find more calm and peace of mind.
