This book is amazing! Anyone who has ever experienced a moment of fear or worry would benefit—and I think that includes us all! I love how at first the mother is teaching the girl the Calm Down strategy, later she remembers and has the skillset to use it on her own. Finally, she helps her father and teaches him. The illustrations are adorable and the back matter just brings this much-needed story to the next level. I highly recommend educators, therapists, and parents, purchase this book and you'll be giving children the skills they need to overcome obstacles in life now and for years to come.

Calm Down Counting is a fun story about the very real fear of creepy crawlies. For some children, bugs are exciting; for others, like Molly, they can be terrifying. The author took a common childhood fear and created the perfect guide for finding calm when a child (or adult) is anxious or afraid. Calming Down Counting is a perfect addition to every elementary classroom.
Don't wait. Go get it in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

Calm Down Counting is a wonderful book for kids of all ages! Both cute and educational, it hits all the notes parents would want in a children’s book. With its charming illustrations and hilariously relatable story, I would recommend this book to anyone looking to teach their kids about anxiety in a lighthearted way.
