CBT Workbook for Kids: 40+ Fun Exercises and Activities to Help Children Overcome Anxiety & Face Their Fears at Home, at School, and Out in the World (Health and Wellness Workbooks for Kids) Paperback – September 17, 2019

My children have a good life, but have been through a lot. Honestly since 2020, the whole world has been through a lot and this book has great tools to help them recognize and manage their emotions in a healthy way.

This book has some great tools and learning activities to help kids with emotions. I like that there are family activities as well so kids don't feel excluded, but also so that everyone can learn tools together.

I love the activities and tools for anxious kids. My only issue is the repeated reference only to “mom” when the book refers to a parent. I found only one reference to another parent in this book, which is frustrating, and makes teaching more difficult, as we have to continually remind our son that I am not the only person, or even the first person, he can talk things out with. It would be nice to at least acknowledge the influence of another parent in this workbook.

Helpful for supporting kids. If nothing else, it's a great place to start, but for most kids, it's a helpful tool on it's own. Easy to use, fun for kids and beneficial for a variety of social emotional needs.

Working thru this book with my kids and even myself. It’s super helpful for me to better understand my kids anxiety and how I can help. Easy exercises for us to understand and complete

I love this book. I am MHC, and I find this book helpful with sessions along with family and group work.

Reading the intro-to-parent letter I was concerned this book would not apply to my severely autistic child- even though I fully intend[ed] to be implementing every page with my child while she is not ready to do so on her own. (I recommend skipping to pages 112-115 if you're the type to "TLDR" ). Ironically; the letter sounded very much about stepping back and not engaging at all, that your children don't need your protection- when in fact they DO! They are children, they need guidance as well as protection. The thing is you have to teach them that they must learn how to protect themselves and part of that is being able to cope as individuals which this book is all about in the end. I like that it mentions your child might need professional help, not only a workbook. Many parents don't seem to realise they children have something physically and/or mentally effecting them to the extent that a parent needs support in helping the child. Even the book at times seems to revert back to generalizing, doesn't seem to be at all written FOR children with severe OCD/ASD/ADD &c. which is strange....Mentioning "tantrums" as somehow a way to avoid something they are fearful of- then that's not a tantrum and should be handled differently. Regardless I LOVE that parent-involvement is encouraged and how much. Of course as with anything (even professional advice) it's smart to take it all in with a big grain of salt. Best to you whomever is reading this!

I truly love that this book was designed. I think that in most cases, people use CBT skills with children or adults with mental health issues. But I say why wait? I use this and a few other books with my 6 year old to learn to control her impulses, and better understand her emotions. It’s helped our household a lot, within our communications and her reactions to the natural fluctuations of life.Grateful for this resource and I recommend it often to people.In case anyone is curious, I don’t think your child needs to know how to read, because I believe this book should be done together, so you can better understand your childs emotional needs. So, I don’t think reading would affect this. You can easily read them the instructions.
