The Bouncing Worry Ball and Mighty Mitt

Suzie has food allergies and has become scared to eat many foods even some that she isn't allergic to. She's also afraid of catching germs that will make her sick so she won't touch her dog Teddy. Her fears keep her from having fun at home at birthday parties and on playdates. In this clear engaging and informative book children with allergies and anxieties can learn how to face their fears by using cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques. In Suzie's case this means imagining a Bouncing Worry Ball who partners up with Mighty Mitt. The book is designed so that children can color and draw their own pictures as well as add their own ideas while learning powerful tools to manage their anxiety. The book includes a list of resources about children's allergies and anxiety for parents.
