Everyone feels worried at times, and young children are no exception. Friendly and reassuring, this book geared to preschool and primary children explains what worries are and how it feels to be worried. The book assures children that lots of kids—and grown-ups—feel worried, and that they can learn to make their worries “smaller and smaller and smaller.” Talking about worries, moving around, keeping hands busy, breathing deeply, getting a big hug, and thinking good thoughts are all ways for children to cope with worries. The book includes a special section for parents and caregivers with activities and discussion starters.

Worries Are Not Forever is a valuable book for children to learn about worry. As a child, I used to always hear – “What do you have to worry about?”

I believe this book will be very instrumental in opening conversations with children. There are so many children that may feel they are alone when it comes to worrying.

The author also included signs to look for, tips & activities, and solutions for dealing with worry. The Worry Jar is definitely something I will be using for myself. I highly recommend this book.
