Children face a number of anxiety-inducing challenges every day--from school to extracurricular activities to making friends. The good news is that kids can also learn to turn their overly anxious thoughts into curiosity, determination, and bravery. Built on the solid foundations of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)--yet cleverly disguised as fun, kid-focused games and activities--this workbook is designed to help children ages 5 to 9 discover the not-so-scary world around them, and channel all that energy away from fear and worry--and toward courage and confidence.

Using the targeted exercises in this book, parents can stop worrying and start enjoying being a parent!
