Description
“Let’s Talk Anxiety” is a compassionate and comprehensive ebook designed to empower parents, carers, and educators with the tools they need to support children navigating big emotions. Written by Ines Gomes, this guide bridges the gap between therapeutic theory and daily life, offering clear explanations on why children feel anxious—often stemming from a lack of information or fear of the unknown.
The book is divided into five practical chapters covering essential topics such as:
Understanding Anxiety: How to communicate clearly to reduce uncertainty, with specific strategies for neurodiverse children (Autism and ADHD).
Creating Safety: Implementing the “4 S’s of Attachment” (Seen, Safe, Soothed, Secure) to build a secure environment at home and school.
Mindfulness & Breathing: Fun, child-friendly exercises like “Belly Breathing,” “Animal Breathing,” and “Mindful Listening” to help kids self-regulate.
Practical Tools: A rich collection of printable resources, including an Anxiety Exposure Ladder, Emotional Reaction Body Maps, and Comic Strip activities to help children visualize and solve problems.
