This one is unique in that it’s meant for the parent and child to share, working together to develop strategies to conquer anxiety. It’s a great concept, and would be an excellent tool to start with if you’re dealing with an anxious child

The book arrived on time, in excellent condition, and looks exactly as pictured. It is an 80 page black and white workbook. I bought it for my 13 year old cousin who was having such severe anxiety about school, despite being a straight A student, that she had started missing classes. With her and her mom's permission, I have uploaded some of the pages to give you a glimpse into the types of activities that the book offers. It really has helped her out immensely by giving her tools to learn how to cope. I also recommended this book to a friend, and her son is doing much better. I strongly recommend this workbook for anyone that is dealing with anxiety! Buy it!
Kathryn W. VA:Buy this book. Really. It's that good.
Every kid should read this book. Not just one's that "worry". The specific techniques it teaches are brilliant. And, it's not just good for kids. It's the same skills adults need. After reading this book to my daughter, I still use the "15 minutes to worry in the morning" trick and it really has helped. She is in 1st grade (age 7) and this has been truly wonderful. We bought three (worry, grumble, and anger) and loved all of them. I can't pick one over the other and now my daughter wants the one on bad habits. She doesn't even have any bad habits but I am going to get it because I am sure it's going to help... her, and me. :-)

Dee Tiefenauer:A great tool for the anxious child and her worried parents!
We received this book today and worked all the way through it this evening. My 8 year old daughter has been struggling with worry and anxiety and feeling bad about her thoughts. As we were reading through I could see the lightbulb going off and the weight lifting from her shoulders. Not only was it validating the things we have been trying to tell her but it showed her she is not alone and it is "normal" to feel the way she is feeling compared to other kids with anxiety. She read the whole thing out loud to me and would stop and relate to so many things. The worry box and worry time were the most helpful. Also, the analogies relating worry to a plant. Really a great tool to help the anxious child (and her anxious parent worrying about her). So glad I found a recommendation for this book on a message board!

Christine:So thankful -- this helped stop my son's obsessive worryingMy son has always been a worrier, but he became totally consumed with thinking about death this summer. From the instant he woke up to the time he lay awake in bed at night, unable to sleep, and even in his dreams, he worried about it and wanted to discuss it, obsessively. Discussion did not help. Answering his questions logically did not help. We took the YouTube app off the iPad because he could not stop himself from looking up videos about death.
At his doctor's recommendation we got this workbook. It taught him a strategy of stopping his worries by putting them in a virtual box and telling himself he would worry about them at his designated "worry time" -- say, 6 p.m., when he and I would talk about them for 15 minutes if needed. I was skeptical but we gave it a try. The first few days it was hard to stop the thoughts, but soon he was able to "save them up" for discussion later, and after a few more days he started telling me he did not need the worry time any more. After many weeks of his worrying consuming both our lives, this was an amazing help. We've used the strategy a few times successfully since then when something bothers him.
