Magination Press What To Do When You Feel Too Shy: A Kid’s Guide to Overcoming Social Anxiety

Brilliant book, easy to read. Very practical and realistic. Should have got this book sooner

I really love this series of books, we have found them extremely helpful!This book, like the others, is very simply written and could be easily read by anyone about second grade and up. This one seemed to have fewer exercises and discussion starters than some of the other ones, but still spoke clearly and concisely to the problem at hand. Kids can benefit from reading this book on their own, but you can enhance this experience by discussing each chapter after reading.This book specifically addresses social anxiety--when kids are afraid to talk to people--at stores, at school--anywhere really, because they have an irrational fear of being ridiculed or made to feel embarrassed. Thit book validates these fears (which are all too common even in many adults) and systematically walks you through attempting to overcome them. This book will not work for you if you are not committed to trying the exercises within and systematically completing the book, but is a nice way to address these issues, especially when you are not quite sure how to explain them to a child.Again, these books appear to be written for younger children, and the examples within certainly reflect that, but the information is usable and useful for any age!

Too wordy for my son

It's a good book not only helps kids but adults as well. Very simly written so to follow easily. Makes the parents also understand how to handle shyness issues of the kids

This book was amazing! It was like it was written for my child and the worries that she has. It helped her come up with some great strategies to deal with her worry!
