Wellness as a life skill for children says Queen
Queen argues wellness must be taught as a ongoing, enjoyable process not a prescription. She stresses boosting self esteem and praising success over blame, noting children mirror adults and can influence family health. Emphasizes honest dialogue, developmentally appropriate guidance, and easing kids into coping with stress.
