From a fear of spiders to panic attacks, kids have worries and fears, just like adults. But while adults have access to a lot of helpful information, that hasn’t been true for kids—until now. Drawing on his years of experience helping children deal with anxiety, Dr. James Crist has written a book that kids can turn to when they need advice, reassurance, and ideas. He starts by telling young readers that all kids are scared and worried sometimes; they’re not alone. He explains where fears and worries come from and how the mind and body work together to make fears worse or better. He describes various kinds of fears and suggests ten Fear Chasers and Worry Erasers kids can try to feel safer, stronger, and calmer. The second part of the book focuses on phobias, separation anxiety, OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), and other problems too big for kids to handle on their own, and explains what it’s like to get counseling. Includes a special "Note to Grown-ups" and a! list of resources.

Summary: alone child
Comment: I got this book for my 8 year old son. When I first gave it to him, he read the first 3 chapters straight, only stopping to run in to tell me excerpts and exclaim: "This is exactly the same things I'm worried about. It's like they're writing about me!" Then he'd excitedly run off to read more. That alone made it worth it: so he knows that he's not alone and someone somewhere understands and that I am making an effort to help him. Also, I am a single parent, and he is an only child, whose father shows no interest. It breaks your heart to see your child full of anxiety -this is a worthwhile investment, as is anything that helps navigate rough waters. My gratitutde to the author.

Summary: Great Therapy Tool
Comment: I have used What to Do When You're Scared & Worried with children in therapy. Most children are relieved to know that this is a common issue; in fact so common there is a book about it. Knowing other children have found solutions is reassuring for children. Appropriate for school, home, and clinical environments.

Summary: children's books
Comment: What to Do When You're Scared and Worried: A Guide for Kids My son, and I read 1 section every night. We take turns reading a page. We stop and discuss what the book recommends. For example some children do not know what they are scared or worried about. The book recommends that you photocopy the checklist. Each day you check what you are scared or worried about. This allowed my son to realize how much of his time he worries about getting an "A" on his homework. The book allows the child to reflect on their behavior, and why this behavior is making them worried. The book then suggest ways for the child to deal with their fears, and how to overcome them. My 10 year old son like's to read this book, and finds it helpful.

Summary: A HUGE door opener
Comment: This book was recommended by Amazon upon buying another book. I as SO glad I bought it. My 11 year old son never discussed his feelings........in fact I don't think he even knew what they were. We worked on this book and he was able to discuss fears and anxiety. This has been a great breakthrough for him and myself. I recommend this book to anyone with kids!!!!
