Synopsis

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.This audiobook is expertly read by Vivian Glazier. It was published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont, by arrangement with Jessica Kinglsey Publishers.

I received access to this book for the purpose of review. This is a very clever book, I was a child worrier actually I still am a worrier but it is much more under control now.
