"This is an interactive self-help book designed to guide 6-12 year olds and their parents through the cognitive-behavioral techniques most often used in the treatment of generalized anxiety. Metaphors and humorous illustrations make difficult concepts easy to understand, while prompts to draw and write help children to master new skills related to reducing anxiety.
Engaging, encouraging, and easy to follow, this book educates, motivates, and empowers children to work towards change. Includes a note to parents by psychologist and author Dawn Huebner, PhD." - BOOK JACKET

Focus is on helping children to understand and develop support strategies. They need to have the ability to comprehend abstract concepts. Dawn Huebner gives lots of strategies to help children understand, and a variety of ways to address challenges. The book is written for children who do not have an intellectual disability - but many of the strategies could be applied more widely. I like the emphasis on monitoring your own progress.

This is a useful resource for anyone whose child worries, even just a little bit. The structured approach and relateable language made it very easy to work through the book and the activities kept my daughter engaged in the topic.
