Expert psychologist and best-selling author Dr. Regine Galanti offers an activity book that teaches kids how to be brave and feel less anxious. All children get anxious sometimes. For some kids, though, anxiety can become something bigger and more intrusive, stopping them from enjoying friends, family, activities, sports, or school. Through a friendly character, colorful illustrations, and fun activities made specifically for kids ages 5 to 9, they will learn cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies to allow them to work through anxious situations on their own. By practicing these strategies, kids will develop the skills needed to manage their anxiety by changing their worried thoughts, behaviors, and physical reactions.
This age-appropriate guide to coping with anxiety features:
- A friendly and supportive character: Kids will navigate their emotions and learn to understand and conquer their worries alongside Harley the Hedgehog.
- Proven strategies through CBT: With CBT-informed exercises that build upon each other and add up to big results, kids will have the tools they need to cope and thrive.
- 45+ fun activities: From writing and drawing to crafts and mindfulness exercises, kids will learn to understand their feelings, find their anxiety triggers, quiet their thoughts, and make a coping plan.
