From the Note to Parents:
If you are the parent or caregiver of an anxious child， you know what it feels like to be held hostage。 So does your child。 Children who worry too much are held captive by their fears。 They go to great lengths to avoid frightening situations， and ask the same anxiety-based questions over and over again。 Yet the answers give them virtually no relief。 Parents and caregivers find themselves spending huge amounts of time reassuring， coaxing， accommodating， and doing whatever else they can think of to minimize their child's distress。
But it doesn't work。 The anxiety remains in control。 As you have undoubtedly discovered， simply telling an anxious child to stop worrying doesn't help at all。 Nor does applying adult logic， or allowing your child to avoid feared situations， or offering reassurance every time the fears are expressed。 This book is part of the Magination Press What-to-Do Guides for Kids（R） series and includes an "Introduction to Parents and Caregivers。" What-to-Guides for Kids（R） are interactive self-help books designed to guide 6-12 year olds and their parents through the cognitive-behavioral techniques most often used in the treatment of various psychological concerns。 Engaging， encouraging， and easy to follow， these books educate， motivate， and empower children to work towards change。

A really good resource for worry-prone kids。 It honors their worries and that it's hard。 And also gives real resources for kids to practice。 I learned something too！ A really good resource for worry-prone kids。 It honors their worries and that it's hard。 And also gives real resources for kids to practice。 I learned something too！ 。。。more

Loved this book， and I would love to read more in this series。 As one who has a life long struggle with anxiety， this book was spot on。 A few of my children exhibit signs of anxiety and we enjoyed reading through this book together。 I would recommend it to both children and adults。 My favorite part was imagining the “worries” as little funny monsters on your shoulders。 My kids and I loved imagining how we can just flick those worries away！

This book was a godsend for my worried eight-year-old。 The strategies presented here are simple， and they had a dramatic effect。 In ten days of working through the text， it has made a powerful difference—and our whole family is benefitting。

A great blend of encouragement and reassurance for children who suffer from anxiety。 I particularly like the use of language that provides gentle ideas for children to discuss and reflect upon， as well as the use of images guide the reader through the chapters。 Throughout each chapter there are spaces for children to share their own worries， including ideas of how to overcome negative thought cycles。

Our family read this together and found it to include some very helpful tools for dealing with anxiety。 Also， it opened up discussion with the kids to understand that everyone has anxiety but there is a range。 Some kids feel it much stronger than others - and that's okay - the tools can help everyone。We recommend this to other kids。 Our family read this together and found it to include some very helpful tools for dealing with anxiety。 Also， it opened up discussion with the kids to understand that everyone has anxiety but there is a range。 Some kids feel it much stronger than others - and that's okay - the tools can help everyone。We recommend this to other kids。 。。。more

Originally， I got this book as a research aid for blog posts on bedtime and anxiety。 However like so many children's CBT workbooks， "What to Do When You Worry Too Much" will help adults manage their own anxiety。 The illustrations are adorable and the exercises excellent。 A quick read， but a long-time process。 I'll be returning to the exercises and adapting them for myself。 Originally， I got this book as a research aid for blog posts on bedtime and anxiety。 However like so many children's CBT workbooks， "What to Do When You Worry Too Much" will help adults manage their own anxiety。 The illustrations are adorable and the exercises excellent。 A quick read， but a long-time process。 I'll be returning to the exercises and adapting them for myself。 。。。more

Having never read a book about anxiety and not having much experience with it myself。 I thought this book was really good for kids。 I read it with my daughter who tends to worry a little bit。 I thought maybe we could help her get her focus and thoughts back on track and where she could manage her worries。 I recommend it for any young person that tends to worry。

This book does have some useful frameworks for helping children to manage their anxiety but many of them are too open to the interpretation that worries can and perhaps should just be pushed aside， ignored or forced to the back of the mind which， of itself is unhelpful and can make the child feel more desperate when they ‘fail’ to do so。 There are some useful exercises and analogies in this book but each require some careful thought as a parent/carer to ensure that the child has some help with t This book does have some useful frameworks for helping children to manage their anxiety but many of them are too open to the interpretation that worries can and perhaps should just be pushed aside， ignored or forced to the back of the mind which， of itself is unhelpful and can make the child feel more desperate when they ‘fail’ to do so。 There are some useful exercises and analogies in this book but each require some careful thought as a parent/carer to ensure that the child has some help with their interpretation。 。。。more

O carte mănușă pentru copiii ale căror frici pun stăpânire și le știrbesc personalitatea。 Unghiul din care autorii ne învață să abordăm "problema" e diferit de tot ceea ce am citit până acum。 Dar e natural。 L-aș numi chiar instinctiv， dacă nu ar fi însă educat， exercițiu。 Mi-a prins extraordinar cartea asta， intr-un moment în care copila mea chiar avea nevoie să fie ajutată。 Jos pălăria！ De avut în bibliotecă și recitită ori de câte ori e nevoie。 :） O carte mănușă pentru copiii ale căror frici pun stăpânire și le știrbesc personalitatea。 Unghiul din care autorii ne învață să abordăm "problema" e diferit de tot ceea ce am citit până acum。 Dar e natural。 L-aș numi chiar instinctiv， dacă nu ar fi însă educat， exercițiu。 Mi-a prins extraordinar cartea asta， intr-un moment în care copila mea chiar avea nevoie să fie ajutată。 Jos pălăria！ De avut în bibliotecă și recitită ori de câte ori e nevoie。 :） 。。。more
