Very anxious 7 year old, can anyone recommend a good book (for both of us)?

[CurrantAffair]

7 yo DD is quite anxious, she has always been sensitive but there has been a lot of upheaval in her life in the last 6 months, and it is really affecting her now both physiologically and mentally Home life is fairly stable and relaxed, though one of our other kids has asd, so that brings its own challenges which I'm sure also have an impact on DD.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone can recommend a good book for me, and perhaps one for her? We did have a kids library one called What Is A Worry which was quite good. We are very open and talk a lot about feelings and what anxiety is etc, but it doesn't seem to be helping.

Any advice or tips also welcome.

It might be worth looking at Starving the Anxiety Gremlin- I am sure they do different versions for different ages- and The Unworry Book

As @madamegazelle1 said. Great book with activities/ exercises to work through, using CBT principles.

Have you looked into your Dd joining your local young carers group? She may find that a good out let and a place to talk to other children in a similar circumstance.

Steve Rodgers Chimp Paradox, there is a childrens book with cartoons that helps younger children deal with their 'inner chimp'. Theres also a good ani. Ated video on youtube that describes the chimp paradox too.

These all sound great thanks 👍

The carers group is a lovely idea but I don't think she would meet the criteria as she doesn't provide physical or emotional support to anybody, my DC with ASD is high functioning but I suppose my husband and I just have a certain way of dealing with behaviour to keep things harmonious at home.
