Find Your Calm: A Mindful Approach To Relieve Anxiety And Grow Your Bravery (Growing Heart & Minds) Kindle Edition
For many kids, anxiety can feel overwhelming.
Anxiety is not just a cognitive experience. When children feel anxious, their bodies respond physically to a perceived threat. They need to feel a sense of safety before figuring out what to do next.
Find Your Calm is a wonderfully accessible book that teaches children how to tap into their sense of safety when they experience anxiety so they can learn to find their calm. It includes kid-friend activities and coping tools for them to practice.
Find Your Calm is part of the Growing Hearts & Minds picture book series. It's a perfect addition to your home or school social-emotional library!
(Available in Spanish as: Encuentra tu Calma.)

- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024It does require reading, which my 6 year old daughter was annoyed about 😆 however after we read it together, it did in fact help her calm down during a melt down and she was ready to practice more. It talks about the different times you might feel anxious and how to overcome it. There are some random blank pages in the back of the book and I didn’t see their purpose, so we used them to draw some extra ways she can calm down as well. Highly recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2024Mindfullness is such an important skill for kids to work on. Life can get overwhelming for kids, and Gabi Garcia has written lots of books to help kids grow up happy and healthy.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2024Fantastic book for littles and a helpful inflection for the reader if I'm being honest.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2020Thinner and more simple than expected but still cute. I purchased for my 8 year old daughter as a walk through book when she’s feeling overwhelmed but it’s a little to simple for what I was exactly looking for. Still a great book for ages 5-8 depending on the child.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2024Great book to teach kids how to deal with anxiety. Has grounding exercises you can do with your kids, which I found very helpful.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024Good story
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2024I really enjoy this book for my seven year old. It takes a scary emotion and brings it down to a level of understanding for a young age group. I specifically love how there are strategies to use.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2024Got this for my 9 year old niece after she had a bit of an anxiety attack when I was with her and she didn’t know what she was experiencing. The coping methods have helped especially the 5 senses. Recently her 4 year old sister was very upset and she tried the five senses method with her. I thought it was very sweet that not only is the book helping her a bit she’s using what she learns to help her sister too

I'm a Psychotherapist and I lend this out to clients (and their parents)! It's a wonderful book.
MamaReverbReviewed in Canada on June 2, 20215.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for young and old
A brilliant book! Techniques were provided after the story, which was a lovely surprise to see at the end.
The story is easy to follow and opens up conversation easily.
MeeraReviewed in the United Kingdom on April 11, 20205.0 out of 5 stars Interesting
Some really good techniques to help maintain calm and allow you to turn off a panic attack when it comes in. Really well illustrated and a good overall read for all ages.
Kylie AbeccaReviewed in Australia on December 29, 20202.0 out of 5 stars Much too complex for the target audience.
While this book is brilliant and has a lot of great points, tips and methods to assist in recognising, dealing with and overcoming anxiety and anxiety attacks, the wording and a lot of the subject matter is way too complex for the target audience to understand, comprehend and replicate. Most of the time I found I was translating the book in order to help the children understand what it was about.
