And I became kind of hooked on cognitive behavioral therapy and started learning about it to use it professionally and started writing books that taught cognitive behavioral skills to kids and things kind of grew from there.
Right, you know, the really exciting thing is that kids are eager to learn and
i they can be taught that feelings are okay, all feelings are okay, and that there are things that they can do to manage feelings more effectively, to cope more effectively in ways that are really transformative.
Mm-hmm.
And that's exciting.
Yeah.
Right, right.
And you know, I think especially um anxiety is a tough feeling for kids.
It makes kids feel weak.
It makes kids feel scared.
Um and so for kids to learn that they can turn that around, um, I think is important and great.
So Out Smarting Worry is for older kids.
It's for nine to thirteen year olds.
And um it's written in a way that children can read it and understand it independently, but it really will be most effective if a child is doing it with a support person, if a parent or
uh counselor or or supportive adult is is reading it along with the child.
And it teaches children about
The mechanics of anxiety
why anxiety happens, why we feel the way that we do in our bodies, why we feel the way we do in our brains, and then really importantly, how we can begin to push back against it, how we can begin to challenge anxiety and take control in a different way.
And it turns out that the more we challenge our worry, the smaller the worry becomes.
So the book is teaching kids a very specific skill set that they can use to challenge their anxiety.
