Sometimes I'm Anxious: A Child's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety (Child's Guide to Social and Emotional Le)

I have worked with children for years that experience or display anxiety. I am mostly working on helping them identify coping tools and in play therapy. Until my own child was displaying anxiety around the tween years...then everything changed. I purchased this book as a recommendation from another school counselor. I was shocked at how quickly my child took to this book. The first night he asked to keep reading it and the second night told me they looked forward to reading the "anxiety help book" all day. It was as if they were relieved that we could openly talk about it and identify what it was. I had, for years been trying to talk about emotions and self regulation tools but I was being shut down by them immediately. Maybe its the way the book is presented with interactive activities and relatable scenarios? There are activities which engage kids in understanding their anxiety and helping or deal with those strong emotions. This was a huge help and good bonding experience for us. I look forward to sharing this amazing resource with other professionals and parents of 8-13 year old children.

I don't often rate things, but this is an amazing little book. I think it is helpful for even adults as well. There are fun activities in it. It is really well done

Perfect. My kid asks to work a little bit on this book every day, at least once a day.She really liked the activities. And it’s helped her share and understand more of her in depth feelings she hasn’t been aware of.

This is my opinion I haven’t finished it yet but it doing good

This book is so helpful with my granddaughter who battles anxiety. She herself told me how helpful this is. She reads it quite often. Highly recommend!

I ordered this for my 10 year old son who was recently diagnosed with general anxiety. He just started meds and about to start therapy next week. I bought this to lay a foundation. When I pulled it out he said a book couldn’t help him and I said we had nothing to lose. We laid in bed for 45 mins last night, and he had the biggest smile reading this book and doing the activities. It was the first time we had really spoken in depth about all his worry thoughts, and I felt we bonded over it. He said he used some of the techniques to fall asleep. Can’t wait to bond again tonight. I rarely right reviews but I am so appreciative this book made him feel happy.

I’m a therapist and found this book to be very easy to follow and understand its content. I have recommended this book to the parents of my little clients.

If you kid is struggling w anxiety get this book right away. It’s super helpful. We brought it w us to our therapist and he loved this workbook as well.The book explanations are simple for kids tounderstand. We have already incorporated one of the coping strategies and it’s already helped my kiddo.We read it as a family.
