I just found the most awesome book to help my DD deal with her anxiety. I came across it completely by chance. Oddly enough I was actually looking for a Disney book! How magical is that?! It's called:
What to do when you worry too much: A kids' guide to overcoming anxiety by Dawn Huebner
The response my DD8 has already had to it has been amazing! Obviously it's not a magic bullet, we've still got a lot of work to do. But, they've worded it in ways that she can completely relate to. She'll say, "Yep!" and "That's how I feel!" And it's wonderful just to hear that. It's got great strategies that make sense to kids too.
I don't know how many of you have kids that are dealing with anxiety, either alone or due to trauma or illness, but I wanted to share this! :mickey:
