CBT Workbook for Kids

A collection of fun, educational, and effective tools that your child will actually want to do! Rooted in psychology, Dr. Davidson's workbook not only helps kids understand what anxiety is, but allows them to develop the skills they need to overcome anxiety in any situation. --Brie Scolaro, LMSW, Scolaro & Associates Dr. Davidson combines compassion and creativity with fun and engaging exercises. Based on sound psychological principles, this book provides fun and kid-friendly skills and ideas for dealing with worry. It is a great resource for anxious kids and their families, and I will be using it in my own practice. --Dr. Adrian Oxman, Psy.D., Psychologist I've been in the field for over 30 years and still find myself musing out loud how there just aren't enough child CBT resources available. The ones that I have come across have been difficult to understand or fail to capture the attention of my younger patients. Dr. Davidson's book is rich in psychoeducation for parents, colorful and easy-to-read for children, and rooted in empirical practice. --Robert Reiner, PhD, BCN, BCB, Licensed New York State Psychologist and Executive Director, Behavioral Associates As an elementary school teacher, I have firsthand experience with how debilitating anxiety can be for a child's academic career. This book is a wonderful resource for both parent and teachers. I'm particularly impressed with the 'At School' section of this book, as it really seems to capture common anxieties that I see on a day-to-day basis and offers in-depth and empathetic strategies on how to best deal with them. I will absolutely be recommending this book to both parents and coworkers alike. --Ashley Fichtel, MA, Second Grade Teacher Dr. Davidson's workbook gives children the most important tools they need to overcome their anxiety in child-friendly language that is easy to apply. This book is a gift to children, parents, and therapists and offers practical exercises designed to bring rapid relief while equipping kids with the coping skills they will continue to use well into their teen years and beyond. In over 25 years of doing child therapy, if I could only have one book on my shelf, this would be the one! --Mike Fraser, PhD, Licensed New York State Psychologist and Director of Clinical Training, Lincoln Hospital
