What to Do When You Worry Too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety (What-to-Do Guides for Kids) by Dr. Dawn Huebner
This book is really helpful! I highly recommend this book if you have a child, between the ages of 6-12, who struggles with anxiety, worries and fears. This 80 page workbook is designed for children and parents to work on together. It opens by comparing worry to a plant, who will grow, if you give it attention. A very helpful analogy! Using basic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, this book helps children develop strategies to conquer their anxiety. It is engaging and encouraging. I checked this copy out from the Los Angeles Public Library, but it is definitely one that I will buy for my permanent bookshelf. Dr. Dawn Huebner has written several other books, in a similar style, for children. Those topics include managing anger, OCD, conquering sleep problems and combating negativity. I can’t wait to check those out as well!
