Every child feels anxious sometimes - about school, friendships, the future, or things they can't quite name. Worry can make the world feel scary and overwhelming, but it doesn't have to take over.
In Everyone Feels Anxious Sometimes, clinical psychologist Dr. Daniela Owen gives children ages 3-10 the tools they need to understand anxiety, calm their bodies, and build inner confidence. Through warm, relatable illustrations and gentle, empowering language, kids learn that anxious feelings are a normal part of life - and that they have the power to manage them.
Dr. Owen's practical, evidence-based approach teaches children how to:
- Understand what anxiety is and why their bodies react the way they do
- Recognize the physical signs of worry before they become overwhelming
- Use deep breathing and grounding techniques to calm anxious thoughts
- Challenge worried thinking with simple, kid-friendly strategies
- Build inner confidence and learn that they are stronger than their worries
Drawing from her years of clinical experience working with children and families, Dr. Owen translates real therapeutic techniques into language and stories that resonate with young readers. These are the same strategies she uses in her practice, adapted so parents and children can use them together.
Everyone Feels Anxious Sometimes is part of the bestselling Everyone Feels series by Dr. Daniela Owen, which also includes Everyone Feels Angry Sometimes and Everyone Feels Sad Sometimes. A thoughtful gift for parents, teachers, counselors, and anyone who wants to help a child navigate anxiety with confidence and calm.
Perfect for: Parents, grandparents, early childhood educators, school counselors, therapists, and gift-givers looking for a psychologist-recommended children's book on anxiety, worry, and building emotional resilience.
