"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.

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

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

"Kudos to Dr. Davidson for creating a child-centered and, more importantly, family-friendly resource. Anxiety can be overwhelming at any age and this workbook provides tools that will resonate with both children and parents for years to come.
