Everyone worries, and this book does a great job in explaining that for children and in showing them things they can think about and do to help them stop worrying so much and feel better if they are.
It goes through twelve common situations that will make children worry, from falling out with a friend, to when their parents argue, to when they feel no-one is listening to them. It lists how you might feel, what you might be thinking and a set of reassuring things to remember. It’s all present through examples children will understand and a helpful Feelings Glossary at the back contains both a simple description of the feeling and an example of when you might feel it.
A guide for parents on the very last page is designed to help you help your child talk about their worries. A practical, well thought out and very reassuring guide for children and their parents and carers.
What's Worrying You? is a book all about helping children understand their worries, and what to do when they feel overwhelmed by their thoughts and feelings.We all have worries now and then, but sometimes worries can feel like they're getting bigger and bigger, like you can't control them anymore. What do you do then?

Praise for It's Ok to Cry :
'The text [...] is very clear and will prompt lots of discussion. Equipped with the ability to articulate to themselves and others exactly how they are feeling and why will enable children to deal with strong emotions. The illustrations by Sarah Jennings are fun and friendly, and Potter's approach will prove very helpful for children, parents and teachers alike.' -- Chosen as book of the week - Books for Keeps
