I keep multiple copies so that I''m able to loan them out and also have one to show passages from to my students in individual sessions. All of the Smart Girls'' Guides are really approachable, even to my lowest level readers and "toughest" girls, but this one in particular is great. 15 people found this helpful Helpful

Cynthia JacoxVerified Purchase Light-hearted approach to challenging anxiety Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2018 Charming approach to helping girls that tend to be worry-warts. Be aware, content is most appropriate for girls 6-10. I purchased it for my 12-year old granddaughter and she felt it was too immature for her. 22 people found this helpful Helpful

It seemed to describe my daughter exactly, and she really related to the descriptions and scenarios. The suggestions on how to manage worries, were spot on!

Highly recommended. 32 people found this helpful Helpful

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2016 Parts of this book are helpful, but it gave my preteen an opportunity to worry about things that she had previously not thought of. I suppose this would be a problem with any such book. 36 people found this helpful Helpful

This has been a great resource for putting her feelings into words and giving tangible skills for managing worry. Her school readings had simpler concepts about worry and negative self talk. It''s written for tweens and early teens, so some of the themes are not applicable yet (self-esteem, navigating friends), but she likes the book and asks to read it together.

WE have 3 of these now, and whilst my 10YO and 8YO both say they''ve never read them for fear of admitting a problem, I''ve found them both secretly absorbed on several occasions. An important parenting thing for me. Sometimes not forcing the issue and providing the assistance is enough. My eldest is a worrier but wold never admit it. Nice to see a book that addresses the causes for this age group, and how to manage or accept things. The content is set out in a plain, well illustrated way that takes you through the problem, why it happens, how to manage it, and ways to cope. Some solid advice provided in a lovely, empathetic way. It wasn''t till they arrived and I was perusing that I realised these books were published by American Girl. If you have girls, they are the holy grail of 18 inch dolls. We have the cheaper version in our house BUT importantly that link made sure that my daughters trusted the content that little bit more. 2 people found this helpful
