LoveReading4Kids Says
Everyone worries, and this book does a great job in explaining that for children and in showing them things they can think about and do to help them stop worrying so much and feel better if they are.
It goes through twelve common situations that will make children worry, from falling out with a friend, to when their parents argue, to when they feel no-one is listening to them. It lists how you might feel, what you might be thinking and a set of reassuring things to remember. It’s all present through examples children will understand and a helpful Feelings Glossary at the back contains both a simple description of the feeling and an example of when you might feel it.
A guide for parents on the very last page is designed to help you help your child talk about their worries. A practical, well thought out and very reassuring guide for children and their parents and carers.

About
What's Worrying You? Synopsis
What's Worrying You? is a book all about helping children understand their worries, and what to do when they feel overwhelmed by their thoughts and feelings.
We all have worries now and then, but sometimes worries can feel like they're getting bigger and bigger, like you can't control them anymore. What do you do then?
Each page takes the child step-by-step through different worry scenarios, such as falling out with a friend, getting in trouble at school, or feeling like no one is listening. It talks about how they might feel, what they might think, and what could help them to ease the anxiety.
With fun and lively illustrations from Sarah Jennings, gentle guidance on developing emotional literacy, and simple advice for tackling problems they might face, What's Worrying You? is the perfect book for helping children deal with those trickier feelings and gain confidence in the world around them. There are also notes at the back of the book for parents and carers for helping children talk about worries, as well as a useful 'Feelings Glossary'.
Let's Talk books help you start meaningful conversations with your child. Written by an expert and covering topics like feelings, relationships, diversity and mental health, these comforting picture books support healthy discussion right from the start.
