"The Kids' Guide To Working Out Conflicts has helped me in so many ways. It used to be when someone came up and started yelling at me, I just yelled right back and it never got better. But now that I've read your book, I take deep breaths, take a step back, and try to be patient with the other person, even if they're not willing to be patient with me. Also, the meditation thing is really working out for me. I do it 30 minutes every morning and 30 minutes every night, so now I'm not so tense anymore.

I've also learned how to deal with the bullies at school. I'm still a little scared of them, but now I stick up for myself.  I've talked to my mom and my teachers and they're watching out for me more carefully now. My mom agrees with me that your books are perfect, straight and to the point."

-- 13 year old girl from Georgia
