Shannon Stocks launches children’s workbook on emotions and self-esteem

Shannon Stocks has released SELFIE-ESTEEM, a children’s workbook for ages 7–12 designed to help kids understand emotions, build confidence and practice empathy. The launch includes a public International Friendship Day event on July 30 and the workbook will be available that same day on Amazon and at bookstores.

Why it matters: - SELFIE-ESTEEM targets children ages 7–12 with tools for emotional regulation, empathy and self-esteem. - The workbook aims to give kids practical ways to handle big feelings, improve friendships and build confidence. - The launch pairs the book release with a public discussion about children’s emotional and social wellbeing.

What happened: - Shannon Stocks, LCSW, MSW, launched SELFIE-ESTEEM: A Kid’s Guide to Learn and Regulate Emotions Workbook on July 24, 2026. - The book is being promoted ahead of an International Friendship Day celebration on July 30 at 8:00 a.m. EST. - The public conversation will stream on Facebook.com/TheSoulWorkCommunity. - The workbook will be available on Amazon and at other bookstores starting July 30, 2026.

The details: - SELFIE-ESTEEM is described as a personal guide to becoming confident, kind and emotionally strong. - The workbook includes games, relatable stories, mindfulness tools and reflection activities. - The content is organized into six sections: Understanding My Emotions; Building Empathy and Practicing Kindness; Anti-Bullying Power; Self-Esteem: Discovering Your Personal Power; Social Smarts Challenge; and Final Reflections and Certificate. - The workbook includes 31 prompts and activities, six journal prompts and six checking-understanding question sections. - It also includes quizzes, quiz answer keys with rationales, resources and a certificate of completion. - Stocks says the workbook helps kids realize that they already have what they need inside them. - The author says the project blends psychology, spirituality and practical emotional tools.

Between the lines: - The launch reflects growing demand for kid-focused mental health and social-emotional learning content. - Positioning the book around Friendship Day ties the product to a broader message about peer relationships and self-awareness. - The workbook’s mix of activities and reflection prompts suggests an emphasis on hands-on learning rather than passive reading.

What's next: - The July 30 event is expected to bring together experts focused on children’s physical, social and emotional wellbeing. - Readers can buy the workbook once it reaches Amazon and bookstores on July 30, 2026. - Shannon Stocks also directs readers to thesoulworktherapist.com and social channels under @thesoulworktherapist for more information.

The bottom line: - SELFIE-ESTEEM is being positioned as both a children’s activity workbook and a launchpad for conversations about emotions, empathy and healthy self-esteem.
