If you have a student or child struggling with anxiety, this book will really help! There are a lot of ideas and strategies I have already explored through SEL trainings, but I think this would be a wonderful resource for parents explaining anxiety to their kids.

[Debbie Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

A great resource to help children (and adults too) recognize and overcome anxiety.

[Caroline · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very basic. Overly simplistic. Misses the mark on fully explaining mindfulness. An OK place to start, but there’s lots of room to go from there when it comes to helping your kiddo through anxiety.

[Donald · Rating 3 out of 5]

A pretty good guide to anxiety for the younger reader. And a nice, basic overview for an adult!
I picked it up at the suggestion of our third grade teacher, and I think that it will be helpful! It seems to be designed for the child him/herself to read, but it feels to old for my girl. Still, it'll be a great reference guide if/when she needs it!

This is a fantastic book that applies to any worrier that needs to become a warrior. Loved!
