This book is an excellent resource for parents who have a child with anxiety or suspect there is anxiety going on. It is well-written, easy to understand and offers suggestions on how to proceed for your child.

 Great to help kids not to "own" anxietyFeb 27, 2010
I am a mental health provider and this book is GREAT at helping kids understand what anxiety is and the ways they may unintentionally make it "grow" and become overwhelming (using the metaphor of a tomato plant). Kids can really grasp this concept. There are also some practical ways to help them take care of the anxiety and not see it as "them", which makes it more empowering and manageable. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star was because I though that in the 3rd chapter, they should expand more on the abstract concept of using "logic" and been more specific on how to do this. Otherwise what a fantastic workbook!

Great Book for Therapists TooFeb 11, 2010
I have used this in session with a child struggling with generalized anxiety. It was very helpful--both in giving our work in session a helpful direction and in providing the child and her parents with helpful tools to use at home.

Helpful for a worrisome childFeb 04, 2010
Good book for helping children that worry or feel troubled over things
and creates open dialogue to feelings they (can't) don't know how to express by themselves.
