Of all the books in my classroom library, this is one of the titles that gets borrowed the most.

I first was introduced to Annie Fox's books when my own children were tweens. I loved how they were the pulse of the average teen. Written in a format that was engaging and also kept the attention of my hard to attend children. "Too Stressed to Think" veers a bit differently from Annie's Middle School Confidential series and talks frankly to kids about how to manage stress, communicate with those that love and care for them, and make wise and informed choices. I really liked how Ms. Fox and her co-author, Ruth Kirschner, delivered helpful ideas that were simple, but so important, such as how to "re-center with breathing". The "Good Friends" checklist makes this book so incredibly valuable as making and losing friends can be so traumatic for teens. As a psychologist and a mother I give this book two thumbs "way up" ! ! Bravo to Annie Fox and Ruth Kirschner for giving teens a sound resource to help them through the "roller-coaster years"!
