Praise for Anxiety Workbook for Kids: 50+ Fun Mindfulness Activities to Feel Calm, Build Awareness, and Be Your Best Self (Health and Wellness Workbooks for Kids)
"Dr. Nasamran's Anxiety Workbook for Kids is a must-have resource for parents and children in this post-pandemic world, when more people than ever are struggling with anxiety. This easy-to-use and engaging workbook is a great tool for parents and children to use together while waiting (often months!) for an available therapist. It can also be used in addition to therapy for extra at-home practice or as a stand-alone resource for children struggling with anxious feelings who are unable or unwilling to go to therapy. As a child psychologist, I plan to use many of these child friendly handouts and worksheets as a way to teach my clients evidence-based strategies for managing their anxiety. This book will help many children live their lives to the fullest, without so much fear and distress. I wish I could have given this resource to my 8-year-old self!" —Laura Anderson Kirby, Ph.D, child clinical psychologist, author of Henrietta's Thistleberry Boots, a picture book that inspires bravery and resilience
"Dr. Amy Nasamran has managed to create an empowering and accessible mindfulness workbook that guides kids through emotion identification and experiential integration of skill and regulation practice. As a therapist specializing in anxiety and emotion regulation, I believe high quality psychoeducation is key to helping kids thrive in the long term. This book is a well-integrated addition to any child's home learning or addition to clinical care. I highly recommend parents and clinicians use this book to empower kids in developing the lifelong skill of emotion regulation from a child-centered framework!" —Eleanor Ezell, LCSW, Founder at Child and Family Therapy Collective, Selective Mutism Association Board of Directors
