What to Do When You Worry Too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety (What...

Great series for an anxious young person!

This has helped my daughter work through something she's been very anxious about lately. It's taught her (and me!) skills that I hope she'll apply to other worries in her life as well. I would absolutely recommend it!

Love this for my son

This book has been really helpful for introducing my daughter to tools for managing anxiety. It breaks things down in a way that’s easy to follow and gives kids strategies they can actually use. That said, there are some words and concepts my 8-year-old didn’t fully understand on her own, so I’d recommend it more for ages 10 and up—or younger kids with a parent reading along and explaining. Still a great resource!

Very useful book for young worriers. It was useful for me too as I read it to my son.

My 9 year old daughter benefited from this book when going through a period of extreme anxiety. It was recommended by her doctor. At her age she couldn’t understand the feeling she had. This book described anxiety in a way she understood. We ordered a few different books and this was the only book she wanted to continue reading and working on because she actually found it helpful. It was such a relief for me as a parent! We are now about 6 months since her first anxiety issue and now when she has anxiety she can recognize it and say “I think I’m nervous for basketball tomorrow and that’s why I don’t feel good” rather than “I don’t feel good I can’t go to basketball”. I recommend this book to any parent who has a child with anxiety.

I have a 9 year old that was starting to struggle with bad anxiety in general and specifically separation anxiety. This gave her some great tools for the first week of school. It was an amazing process to see her work through things. I deal with anxiety myself and wish I would have had something like this at her age. I’m extremely thankful for this.

My little guy was recommended this during therapy and it has helped!

Excellent book to teach kids about what to do when you're anxious

This book helped my son with his anxiety, but it’s more for a child under 8.

Bought this for my 9yo daughter, who has trouble with anxiety at night sometimes. We went through the exercises together and I think they helped. I wrote out a single-page summary of the book’s management steps and she keeps it by her bed to go through when she needs it. She says it’s helped a lot.

Very informative book for young children

My kid found this book really interesting and engaging. It's a great introduction to CBT strategies at an age-appropriate level.
