Child Psychology Book Lady

Part of my core clinical toolbox, ‘Hey, Warrior’ is a thoughtful and information-packed book about anxiety, which introduces kids to the fight-flight response and role of the amygdala in fear.  The story not only helps kids identify signs and symptoms of anxiety, but explains the neurobiology of why these symptoms occur. It normalises anxiety and provides simple and helpful strategies to calm down. Although it is marketed for children aged 5-12 years, parents should be aware that it is quite wordy and information-heavy, and may be better suited to those aged 7 and up. This is an excellent book to add to your library, which you can dip and in out of over the years.
