Books like The Worry Glasses: Overcoming Anxiety

I was highly impressed with this book. As a foster parent, I deal daily with children who have various emotional problems, and anxiety is definitely a problem that is common among children who have endured any kind of trauma. Of course, anxiety can also strike children who have ideal childhoods. I happened to be a cautious, worried child growing up and often remember feeling many of the same physical and emotional symptoms that the main character of this book feels."The Worry Glasses" explains anxiety in a way that children can really understand and offers solutions that are proven and effective in combating fear and worry. The illustrations and storyline add an entertainment factor that will keep kids engaged until the very end. Towards the back of the book there is a list of anxiety relieving exercises and a list of parent tips that are invaluable resources for adults who live or work with nervous children. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to therapists, teachers, foster parents, regular parents or anyone who has a child dealing with anxiety.
