When Harley Has Anxiety: A Fun CBT Skills Activity Book to Help Manage Worries and Fears (For Kids 5-9)

Works great for working with my 4th graders

As a psychotherapist, I am careful in literature that I recommend or use. I purchased this workbook for my 8yr old granddaughter, who struggles with anxious thoughts/worries, and what a wonderful find!! It features a captivating character who normalizes many of those anxious thoughts and then provides useful activities that she has practiced and then used in those worrisome moments. Perfect for her age group!

I like it because it simple and to the point how kids better understand. It allows us to bond while doing activities.

I ordered this for a somewhat anxiety filled 5th grader in one of my classes. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this book exceeded all my expectations. Not only is it absolutely adorable, but it’s also very very age appropriate. I’m addition, it’s also taught me some ways to help kids manage emotion, anxiety, and differentiation between the two.I could not recommend this book enough. There is some short lessons, activities, and also some opportunities for kids to “journal” (written activities asking them to evaluation sources of stress, etc) to help them identify how they feel and the root causes.It’s a great purchase. I’ve already got two more copies in my cart!

Great tool to help a kid having some issues at school or at home to learn about working through anxiety.

This is one of my favorite go to books when working with some of my kids with anxiety..l am a Integrated behavioral health therapist(embedded within Pedi and Primary care practices-often short term therapy, interim therapy <there is such a shortage of resources in Rhode Island>).I feel the writer definitely broke down some of the key CBT techniques for anxiety in way that is suitable for kids...The explanations are very informative to parents, but also the language is kid friendly...Although I may not complete all the exercises in the book with my kids,there are a few that really stand out..especially the ANTs exercises and the coping related exercises. My kids love to meet "my friend Harley" . I hope this author makes more books of this nature...

A great tool in working with kids with anxiety

This is a great to use in therapy with children focusing on anxiety. I've started using and it was a great buy!
