This Thing Has A Name

This Thing Has A Name is a children’s book for all ages, demystifying childhood anxiety. The book demonstrates that feelings can pop-up uninvited and may bring along fear, rage, or confusion – and sometimes make our bodies feel icky. This book walks children and their Loved Ones through the ups and downs of emotions, and to welcome them rather than avoid them. It also describes ways to help recognize those big uncomfortable feelings and help normalize them. There are tools to help children cope with these emotions by finding safety within themselves and with their Loved Ones. “This book can help children move past anxiety but in many ways, it’s truly for all of us. “Don’t run”, “feelings come and go” and “keep working” are all hallmarks of any successful treatment towards helping children cope and deal with anxiety. The book also gives what I believe are proven methods to move past anxiety. A must addition to any child’s bookshelf.” – Dennis Walker, MSW, LICSW VP of SMHC, Inc.
