Worries Are Not Forever (häftad, eng)

Help kids recognize feelings of worry and develop healthy ways to cope

Worries and what ifs pop up all the time—and then they go away again. In Worries Are Not Forever, children learn that worrying thoughts are safe and fleeting. Whether their worries are big or small, this reassuring book shows kids ages 4–7 how to shrink worried thoughts by talking about them, asking for a hug, going outside, moving around, and replacing anxious thoughts with happier ones.

With simple text and bright, inclusive illustrations, this book encourages children to stay optimistic and calm, even when worries seem scary.

In kid-friendly terms, this book explains worry, encourages children to find reasons to feel grateful, and shows how simple actions can bring the nervous system back into balance.

Part of the award-winning Best Behavior® series, this title gives children strategies they can use to navigate the ups and downs of childhood.

• Normalizes worrying and the uncomfortable feelings that can come with it
• Teaches ways of coping with worry and disrupting anxious thoughts
• Encourages talking about worries and replacing them with gratitude

Worries Are Not Forever is a helpful tool for parents, caregivers, educators, and counselors who want to support children in understanding and managing their worry.

It can be read during anxious moments—before a big event, during stressful transitions—or any time to open conversations and provide support. A special back matter section for adults offers tips and simple activities to help children recognize, talk about, and calm their worries with confidence.

Great for children who read the board book edition and need an expanded reminder when behaviors resurface.
