National Parenting Publications Awardsĭr. Alison Harris, Occupational TherapistĪ rare feat: a self-help book that bypasses jargon to become a terrific resource for kids. A fun but effective way to explain anxiety to young children. The book explains how thinking in a negative and scared way about things only helps the anxiety grow, almost like an out of control plant, being fed and watered and tended to far more than it needs to be. It's also useful to read this book in conjunction with explaining to your child about anxiety and the 'fight/flight' response. The illustrations are gentle and fun and make the book the kind that you could read at bedtime. This is an excellent child friendly book which explains in easy to understand terms how anxiety can affect a child.
