Imagine that therapist packaging acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) concepts and skills into bite-size portions and feeding them to your child with clarity, humor, and engaging art. Imagine your child taking a bite, and then another. Willingly learning skills. Going back for more. That's what Anna Scetinina has accomplished here, creating a unique ACT workbook sure to help young worriers."" --Dawn Huebner, PhD, psychologist, parent coach, and author of books, including What to Do When You Worry Too Much and Outsmarting Worry--Dawn Huebner, PhD ""We know that ACT can help children and children can learn ACT, but that alone does not show you how.
