Review Quotes

"Dr. Amy Nasamran has managed to create an empowering and accessible mindfulness workbook that guides kids through emotion identification and experiential integration of skill and regulation practice. As a therapist specializing in anxiety and emotion regulation, I believe high quality psychoeducation is key to helping kids thrive in the long term. This book is a well-integrated addition to any child's home learning or addition to clinical care. I highly recommend parents and clinicians use this book to empower kids in developing the lifelong skill of emotion regulation from a child-centered framework!" --Eleanor Ezell, LCSW, Founder at Child and Family Therapy Collective, Selective Mutism Association Board of Directors

"Dr. Nasamran's Anxiety Workbook for Kids is a must-have resource for parents and children in this post-pandemic world, when more people than ever are struggling with anxiety. This easy-to-use and engaging workbook is a great tool for parents and children to use together while waiting (often months!) for an available therapist. It can also be used in addition to therapy for extra at-home practice or as a stand-alone resource for children struggling with anxious feelings who are unable or unwilling to go to therapy. As a child psychologist, I plan to use many of these child friendly handouts and worksheets as a way to teach my clients evidence-based strategies for managing their anxiety. This book will help many children live their lives to the fullest, without so much fear and distress. I wish I could have given this resource to my 8-year-old self!" --Laura Anderson Kirby, Ph.D, child clinical psychologist, author of Henrietta's Thistleberry Boots, a picture book that inspires bravery and resilience
