Because Spanish-speaking kids also have worries, Shrinking the Worry Monster, A Kid’s Guide for Saying Goodbye to Worries has been translated into Spanish! This seems especially timely as a U.S. Task Force on Children’s Mental Health just recommended anxiety screening for all kids ages 8 and older. It seems most everyone recognizes the struggles children have with worries.
The book still has the “Introduction for Caregivers” and three appendices to help kids (and parents) understand how to shrink worries. The wonderful images are also on every page. The age range for this book is 3 to 12 years.
For people of all languages, it is so important to recognize and treat children’s anxiety early. Otherwise a child’s anxiety can turn into adult anxiety and cause years of emotional pain. That’s the bad news. The good news is that anxiety is very treatable, especially if recognized and caught early. This book provides research-based strategies for shrinking worries, all in a delightful children’s story.
