It is a "go to" resource for sure. It has great information about anxiety and worry and explaining to kids as well as helping us the adult explain it. It is helpful for the feeling of anger as well. The activities are engaging and my students enjoy them when they are feeling anxious or worried. They really seem to like Grumpy Toss (we use a small hand crank paper shredder), Peace corner (as they have one in their classroom as well as my office) and Worry Bubbles.
