Here's your host, child therapist Natasha Daniels.

Well hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.

I am really excited to bring my guest on today.

Dr. Tamar Black is really one of the go-to experts I think in acceptance

commitment therapy with young children and there are a lot of supports and therapies and approaches out there but very few of

them are geared towards younger children and And Act was one of them where I've had a few guests on

who talk about Act and we're normally talking about older kids.

Patriceia's Rita Ona has been on and Lisa Coyne has been on. I had

Jamie Valdez on a long time ago. So all three of them have come on and talked

about Act, but I'm really excited to bring on come on to Marr Black, who has written a workbook

for young who has written a book,

a workbook for young kids,

to use acceptance commitment therapy type of approaches with our kids.

And when she comes on I had her just describe what Act is in general,

kind of the philosophy behind act, just to give you kind of a baseline understanding of the approach.

And then we talk about how to use that and talk about that with younger children.

And when I'm saying young, I mean under 12,

you know, all the way as young as like four or five,

how do you adapt this?
