Making a difference for us already

I got this book about a week ago when my seven-year-old daughter started expressing anxiety that my husband would not pick her up after school. It was to the point where she would not get out of the car at school. We have gone through about half of the book and are already seeing a huge...

for kids

This book was a good resourse for you to read WITH your child. had some helpful hints and tools to distract from the anxious episodes. It held the interest of my child and helped him to articulate some of his own feelings. NOT A CURE. But still useful.

I was worried my almost 11 year old...

would think this simple book was beneath him but he liked it -he did not do any of the activities but he was receptive to listening. We went over it in one night in about 30 minutes (it is very short- many pictures) but he has wanted the allocated "worry time" of about 15 minutes every night since.

Worry no more

This book has been wonderful to give to children 8-12ys and their parents who "worry" too much. A chapter a night...and some kids have been able to stay away overnight for the first time. Others have managed to "tell" what has been bothering them.Every adult who works with children should have a...

Love this book

I bought this for my 9 year old daughter (now 10.) She has an anxiety disorder diagnosed by a trained psychologist as well as being placed in Special Education at school due to her anxiety being severe enough to interfere with school. She enjoyed the book, it kept her interested, and she easily...

Helpful workbook for most ages!

This workbook is a unique tool in explaining anxiety to children and a means for coping with it. The book creatively teaches the process of externalizing worries so they are not all consuming. Although written for children, it is good in concept for adults as well.

Great Book!

This book literally changed my 10 year old daughter's life. She had a tendency to worry about things that "might" happen. This book is an interactive tool that allows your child (or even an adult!) to work through anxiety, stress and worry. She completed the book six months ago and has not...
