Tried and tested strategies from a best-selling author to help 9-13 year olds tackle their worries and fears

Worry has a way of growing, shifting from not-a-big-deal to a VERY BIG DEAL in the blink of an eye. This big-deal Worry is tricky, luring children into behaviours that keep the anxiety cycle going. Children often find it hard to fight back against Worry, but not anymore. Outsmarting Worry teaches 9-13 year olds and the adults who care about them a specific set of skills that makes it easier to face - and overcome - worries and fears. Smart, practical, proven techniques are presented in language immediately accessible to children with an emphasis on shifting from knowing to doing, from worried to happy and free.

"Informally written, the text is clear and easy-to-read, and is broken down into steps with black and white illustrations that add humour and engage the reader... A useful book to add to the self-help section of the library." - School Library Association
