Outsmarting worry : an older kids guide to managing anxiety

Huebner, Dawn2018
Book
Incorporating up-to-date thinking about the successful treatment of anxiety, it includes tried and tested strategies from this bestselling author to help 9-13 year olds tackle their worries and fears. Worry has a way of growing, shifting from not-a-big-deal to a VERY BIG DEAL in the blink of an eye. This big-deal Worry is tricky, luring children into behaviours that keep the anxiety cycle going. Children often find it hard to fight back against Worry, but not anymore. Outsmarting Worry teaches 9-13 year olds and the adults who care about them a specific set of skills that makes it easier to face - and overcome - worries and fears. Smart, practical, proven techniques are presented in language immediately accessible to children with an emphasis on shifting from knowing to doing, from worried to happy and free.
