For children aged 9-13 who are prone to anxiety, this easy-to-follow illustrated guide to outsmarting worry is here to put their minds at rest. Written by an experienced family psychologist, it provides strategies based on cognitive behavioural techniques for controlling unwanted thoughts, fighting fears head-on, and leading a happier life. Anxiety is all about perceived danger, and our bodies react the same to imagined dangers as they would a real threat. Engaging children in the process of learning about their feelings by reading the book with an adult helps to normalize their symptoms and manage their anxiety. With simple language and smart techniques based on up-to-date CBT and ACT principles, this book guides children through learning and using the skills they need to outsmart worry.
