Synopsis

Children face a number of anxiety-inducing challenges every day-from school to extracurricular activities to making friends. The good news is that kids can also learn to turn their overly anxious thoughts into curiosity, determination, and bravery. Built on the solid foundations of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-yet cleverly disguised as fun, kid-focused games and activities-this workbook is designed to help children ages 5 to 9 discover the not-so-scary world around them, and channel all that energy away from fear and worry-and toward courage and confidence.

With this engaging workbook, kids will be so busy having fun, they won't even realize they're learning lifelong skills to manage anxiety and worry! If your child struggles with anxiety, rest assured that you aren't alone. Children face a number of anxiety-inducing challenges-from school to extracurricular activities to making friends. The good news is that kids can learn to turn their overly anxious thoughts into curiosity, determination, and bravery. Using kid-friendly skills based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this book is designed to help children ages 5 to 9 obtain the building blocks needed to manage anxiety and worry throughout their lives.

This engaging workbook is grounded in evidence-based psychology-but your kid will never know it, because it's also packed with fun! 25 games and activities will help them realize just how capable, strong, and brave they really are. Each chapter includes a kid-friendly introduction, then jumps into kid-approved silliness such as going on a Fear-Busting Scavenger Hunt, or visiting the I-Scream Shop. The culmination of all their amazing work includes a visit to the Celebration Station, and yes, there will be prizes!

Your child is awesome, and they have the power to feel awesome, too. Give them the help they need wrapped up in the fun they love, and soon they'll know that not only are their fears not as big and scary as they think, but also that they are brave and strong, and able to tackle life's inevitable challenges with confidence.

In these increasingly challenging times, kids and teens need mental health resources more than ever. With more than 3 million copies sold worldwide and translated into 260 languages, Instant Help Books are easy to use, proven-effective, and recommended by therapists.
