This book turned out to be fantastic! We have had the book since early 2016 and it is now October. It has given our daughter a sense of control over anxiety and worry. She now has coping mechanisms and her symptoms and acting out behaviors have all but completely disappeared. She doesn't have to constantly use the steps in the book anymore (that we know of ;), but when she starts to worry, she usually remembers to apply the steps herself, and on that very rare occasion that a worry spills out, we are quick to remind her to start applying her steps, which so far, has quickly resolved any issues. She especially loves applying Logic (which we found out from an adult in therapy that this is exactly how a therapist starts attacking worries, which makes sense since the author is a professional), the Worry Box, and drawing pictures. At 6 years old, she could technically read this book, but it is longer than most 6 yr olds would comfortably read themselves. The type is a bit larger than it would be for an average adult - maybe 12-14 pt type, which makes it easier for littles trying to read. At first, we read the book together (meaning she sat in my lap while I read) and she enjoyed the pictures and drawing. Once in a great while, she'll even grab the book off the shelf and find a section on her own to reread to herself. This has been a great resource for us as parents when we weren't sure how or where to start when our child's anxiety started becoming an issue we all needed to face. It was a perfect step for us before going to a professional and we feel this book helped us avoid that next step. It's great for parents too - we learned quite a bit ourselves and can't we all use a few more things to help take some stress out of our lives! ;) Highly recommend!

Some chapters are good but my issues are the fact the book teaches the child more things to stress out about. It literally Introduces New scenarios And tells them things that they would not otherwise know or think about that will them Make them MORE anxious.And...Holy God chapter 5??? Chapter 5 tells the child to lock their feelings away in an imaginary box and that they can only THINK and TALK about their worries and anxieties during a 15 MINUTE scheduled “worry time” with mom and dad. It says mom and dad will ignore you and your worries and anxieties if you express them UNLESS it’s during the “worry time”!?! My child sees a child psychologist and this chapter upsets her and me as a mother.This chapter needs removed! I edited the chapter and I wrote that you can talk to mommy and daddy any time you want to talk about your feelings. We will always be ready to listen.If your child has issues with monsters do not get this book. Chapter 6 tells the child their worry is a Monster than is stuck to them. That they need to talk to it. Yeah.
