CBT Workbook for Kids: 40+ Fun Exercises and Activities to Help Children Overcome Anxiety & Face Their Fears at Home, at School, and Out in the World (Health and Wellness Workbooks for Kids)

We have purchased several books from this line. They are all great! High quality book, easy to follow lessons. Tips and guidance for parents and engaging lessons for kids. Short lessons and fun activities make it easy to keep kids interested. Kids have fun and learn important skill as they go. We used this book to help/guide our autistic child. The books are well researched techniques and strategies. Highly recommend.

My children have a good life, but have been through a lot. Honestly since 2020, the whole world has been through a lot and this book has great tools to help them recognize and manage their emotions in a healthy way.

I love the activities and tools for anxious kids. My only issue is the repeated reference only to “mom” when the book refers to a parent. I found only one reference to another parent in this book, which is frustrating, and makes teaching more difficult, as we have to continually remind our son that I am not the only person, or even the first person, he can talk things out with. It would be nice to at least acknowledge the influence of another parent in this workbook.

This book has some great tools and learning activities to help kids with emotions. I like that there are family activities as well so kids don't feel excluded, but also so that everyone can learn tools together.

Helpful for supporting kids. If nothing else, it's a great place to start, but for most kids, it's a helpful tool on it's own. Easy to use, fun for kids and beneficial for a variety of social emotional needs.

I love this book. I am MHC, and I find this book helpful with sessions along with family and group work.

Reading the intro-to-parent letter I was concerned this book would not apply to my severely autistic child- even though I fully intend[ed] to be implementing every page with my child while she is not ready to do so on her own. (I recommend skipping to pages 112-115 if you're the type to "TLDR" ). Ironically; the letter sounded very much about stepping back and not engaging at all, that your children don't need your protection- when in fact they DO! They are children, they need guidance as well as protection. The thing is you have to teach them that they must learn how to protect themselves and part of that is being able to cope as individuals which this book is all about in the end. I like that it mentions your child might need professional help, not only a workbook. Many parents don't seem to realise they children have something physically and/or mentally effecting them to the extent that a parent needs support in helping the child. Even the book at times seems to revert back to generalizing, doesn't seem to be at all written FOR children with severe OCD/ASD/ADD &c. which is strange....Mentioning "tantrums" as somehow a way to avoid something they are fearful of- then that's not a tantrum and should be handled differently. Regardless I LOVE that parent-involvement is encouraged and how much. Of course as with anything (even professional advice) it's smart to take it all in with a big grain of salt. Best to you whomever is reading this!

I have been looking into CBT for my son who generally struggles with controlling and understanding emotions. I was under the impression that CBT could be used for a variety of use cases. This book focuses on anxiety and only anxiety, though. My son has some underlying issues with anxiety, but it is something I notice and of which he isn't fully aware. As such, he doesn't understand why I got this book. The examples talk about worrying and obvious feelings of anxiety, but they don't touch on more subtle feelings that might point towards anxiety. This book doesn't mesh with how anxiety expresses itself for my introverted son.
