Once again, Jessica Sinarski delivers! In Hello Anxiety she masterfully weaves story, brain science, and relational care with simple regulation tools that children —and their caregivers—can add to their backpacks. With delightful illustrations, the story of Destiny and the dreaded book report provide a perfect backdrop for helping children use their whole, wise brain to say "Hello Anxiety! I’ve got this. I can do it!”

-Janyne McConnaughey, Ph.D., Author of Brave: A Story of Healing Childhood Trauma

“What a practical, down-to-earth approach to a child’s anxiety. Sinarski’s perception given through Destiny’s Dad helps kids know they are understood. The use of books to represent anxiety and all of its aspects make it real and heavy — and easy for a child to see anxiety as objects you can choose to carry or put down. Sinarski’s language is simple and clear yet packed with useable information. As Dad shares his own experience, he models for parents how to approach their own sharing. Making bookmarks for learning skills encourages kids to create their own.”
