Practical and easy to understand
I work with little kids and I found this book incredibly useful. The activities were simple and some of the kids even said they were fun and the most important thing is they learned a lot and were able to apply the concepts. I definitely would recommend this book.

Fun, engaging and helpful
We have purchased several books from this line. They are all great! High quality book, easy to follow lessons. Tips and guidance for parents and engaging lessons for kids. Short lessons and fun activities make it easy to keep kids interested. Kids have fun and learn important skill as they go. We used this book to help/guide our autistic child. The books are well researched techniques and strategies. Highly recommend.

Preventative resource for mental care for kids
I truly love that this book was designed. I think that in most cases, people use CBT skills with children or adults with mental health issues. But I say why wait? I use this and a few other books with my 6 year old to learn to control her impulses, and better understand her emotions. It’s helped our household a lot, within our communications and her reactions to the natural fluctuations of life.Grateful for this resource and I recommend it often to people.In case anyone is curious, I don’t think your child needs to know how to read, because I believe this book should be done together, so you can better understand your childs emotional needs. So, I don’t think reading would affect this. You can easily read them the instructions.

Great Tools for Kids. Wish it had more references and stories that include dads/fathers.
I love the activities and tools for anxious kids. My only issue is the repeated reference only to “mom” when the book refers to a parent. I found only one reference to another parent in this book, which is frustrating, and makes teaching more difficult, as we have to continually remind our son that I am not the only person, or even the first person, he can talk things out with. It would be nice to at least acknowledge the influence of another parent in this workbook.

Great book
This book has some great tools and learning activities to help kids with emotions. I like that there are family activities as well so kids don’t feel excluded, but also so that everyone can learn tools together.

Not for us
I have been looking into CBT for my son who generally struggles with controlling and understanding emotions. I was under the impression that CBT could be used for a variety of use cases. This book focuses on anxiety and only anxiety, though. My son has some underlying issues with anxiety, but it is something I notice and of which he isn’t fully aware. As such, he doesn’t understand why I got this book. The examples talk about worrying and obvious feelings of anxiety, but they don’t touch on more subtle feelings that might point towards anxiety. This book doesn’t mesh with how anxiety expresses itself for my introverted son.

In India, mental health is still being discussed quietly. But this book is so good for my kid. She is 16 and I bought this for her birthday ♥️ Thanks doc! Even adults can use this to process their emotions. It’s overall so useful!
