How can you help kids turn worry into wonder and anxiety into confidence?

Every child faces moments of doubt and fear. But for many, those moments can grow into constant anxiety, worry, or self-criticism. Whether it’s anxiety about school, friendships, or just trying something new, kids can easily fall into the trap of believing they’re just not good at something, or that being scared means they’ve already failed. So, how can you help kids reframe life challenges as chances to learn and grow?

Grounded in the pioneering research of psychologist Carol Dweck, The Growth Mindset Workbook for Anxious Kids shows children ages 7-12 that their abilities, and even their courage, can grow stronger with practice and perseverance. Combining growth mindset principles with proven techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), kids will discover the tools they need to calm anxious thoughts, face setbacks, and feel proud of their progress.

This fun and engaging workbook will help kids:

• Recognize and calm anxious thoughts
• Build confidence through self-kindness and persistence
• Turn mistakes and setbacks into learning opportunities
• Practice healthy habits that support well-being
• Strengthen emotional resilience

By developing a growth mindset, children will learn that it’s normal to feel nervous sometimes. But with practice, they can face fears, try new things, and keep growing. Filled with playful exercises, affirmations, and creative reflections, The Growth Mindset Workbook for Anxious Kids helps kids see that bravery isn’t about never being scared. It’s about believing they can do things, even when those things feel tough.
