In these six stories, Max chases cloudberries into a bog, triggers a blueberry avalanche, gets his leg trapped in a storm, tangles a treehouse project into chaos, blurts a secret he shouldn't, and loses his footing in a rushing river. Each adventure lands him in real trouble - and each time, his steady friend Syl the Sasquatch is there, not to rescue him from the consequences, but to walk beside him through them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly eight feet tall and impossible to rattle, Syl teaches Max the tools of the ancient Stoics: that we can't always control what happens, but we can always choose how we respond. Alongside Oscar the careful otter, Briar the gruff but soft-hearted bear, and Riley the sharp-eyed raven, Max learns one calming tool per story - the Three-Breath Brake, Square Woods Breath, Riley's Rhythm, the Rule of Three, the Wisdom Window, and the Five-Finger Anchor - each one a concrete, kid-sized skill for impulse control, big emotions, and a racing mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for children with ADHD (and the grown-ups who love them), Steady Roots \u0026amp; Rambling Trails pairs warm, funny, forest-set adventures with strategies grounded in real evidence-based practice: box breathing, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, task-chunking, and cognitive tools adapted from CBT and ACT. A closing note for parents and caregivers explains the thinking behind each tool, so the lessons can carry on long after the story ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMax never stops being Max - quick, curious, and full of spark. But story by story, he discovers he isn't broken; his mind just needs a few good tools to find its steady roots even while it rambles down new trails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 134\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 28, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67926436610302,"sku":"9798997018832","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/8716\/4670\/files\/qgX4wStrkG9798997018832.webp?v=1793448134","url":"https:\/\/123learningstore.com\/products\/steady-roots-rambling-trials-paperback","provider":"123 Learning Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
