Don't Worry, Be Happy

LoveReading4Kids Says

A Child's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety

Everyone worries, but for children worries can sometimes grow out of proportion to cause real distress and affect their everyday life. We know that increasing numbers of children suffer from anxiety which is why this book is so necessary.

Aimed at children aged 7 – 11, it can be used independently or together with a parent or carer. It explains clearly and simply what anxiety is, what might cause it and, best of all, how you can find ways to manage and overcome it. For this it draws on proven cognitive behavioural therapy techniques, using simple activities that will help children now and possibly all through their lives.

A cartoon character, little monster Fiz, is there throughout to be a friendly companion and plentiful write-in activities are fun as well as useful. An invaluable book for youngsters and their responsible adults.
