A Wallop of Worries

Take a deep breath

and remember to say: 

“All will be well, 

and I am okay.” 

It’s no secret that children experience anxiety and stress, just like grown-ups do. The only difference: Adults know what they’re feeling, and they often have the self-care techniques to cope. It’s time to give kids the same tools - and that’s precisely what Alyssa Hurley provides in A Wallop of Worries.

This book teaches children a slew of techniques, from sensory mindfulness to positive thinking to words of affirmation, to help them through tough times. All of herself - care tips and uplifting mantras come in easy to-remember rhymes, so kids will have no trouble repeating them when they feel overwhelmed. In the end, young readers will realize they can work with their minds to let go of the wallop of worries they feel - and get back to being their happy, de-stressed selves once again.
