Thank you to NetGalley and Zeitgeist book for a copy of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.
This is a really great workbook for kids, with helpful CBT activities and wonderful illustrations that make these complex concepts really easy to understand for both adults & kids. Dr. Galanti discusses physical reactions to anxiety, triggers and how to be aware of them, and even how parents can overcompensate for kids anxiety in ways that make it worse, all through a cute Hedgehog named Harley. As someone currently studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling and learning how to provide CBT treatment, this is a great resource to have for working with kids. I fully plan on passing it along to my colleagues who wish to work with this age population, as well as I plan to give it to any of my friends with young kids. I look forward to looking at Dr. Galanti’s books for older ages as well, because if it is anything like this it will be filled with extremely helpful material. 4/5
