When My Worries Get Too Big! A Relaxation Book for Children Who Live with Anxiety

The cover turned the boy off right away. He asked me to hide it when we picked it up from the library for fear it be seen as a "baby book." On the other hand, the actual technique seemed to hit a chord with him to deal with anxiety-producing situations before they ratchet up too high, so we can add it to the toolkit for him.

I feel like there are not enough children's books on anxiety. The amount of insight this book puts into the text and feelings of this character is eye opening for those who do not have anxiety disorders. But, the main purpose of this book is relaxation techniques for children with anxiety. This is an early-reader style how-to kind of book that is much more engaging than something a doctor or a therapist might tell you. This book displays a visual thermometer to allow children to show there they fall in bottled up anxiety, and helps give the language of anxiety disorders to readers. With this book as a tool, children can express how they feel more clearly and using terms that most can understand. This is the main purpose behind this book.

The purpose for this book is to help children with anxiety relax and become more calm. And I think it covered just that. This book gives children with anxiety everything they need to know when it comes to helping them manage their anxiety. Some information in this book may have been given by a doctor or a therapist, it's that good. This book also give people who don't understand or know the language of anxiety disorders to the readers. With this book as a guide, parents can better understand how their child with anxiety feel. And when children worries get too big they can express how they feel more clearly.
