This interactive self-help book is still the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering kids to overcome their overgrown worries. Includes a note to parents and caregivers by psychologist and author Dawn Huebner, PhD. From the Note to Parents and Caregivers: If you are the parent or caregiver of an anxious child, you know what it's like to be held captive by fear. So does your child. Children who worry too much go to great lengths to avoid frightening situations, unable to shake the fear of what might happen. Unfortunately, the more children capitulate to anxiety, the more powerful it becomes. You have undoubtedly seen this pattern and done your best to reverse it, reassuring, distracting, accommodating, and/or encouraging your child, but it doesn't work. None of it. At least, not in the long run. Anxiety can be neither forced nor jollied away. But there is hope. What to Do When You Worry Too Much, Second Edition teaches a new way of thinking about and managing anxiety, one that addresses fear where it begins: in the brain. This book is part of the Magination Press What-to-Do Guides for Kids(R) series and includes a "Note to Parents and Caregivers."

Product Description 
Having a brother or sister can be tough. It can also be great, but it's hard to see the great parts with so many bad parts getting in the way. Problems like fighting and bossing. Teasing and jealousy. Tattling. Pestering. And more. 
But what if you could do something about those problems? Clear them away? Then you'd be able to actually enjoy your siblings! 
This indispensable guide from best-selling author Dr. Dawn Huebner speaks directly to children ages 9-12, teaching skills to help them manage feelings and resolve conflicts, strengthening the bonds between brothers and sisters. 
Warm, witty, and packed with practical strategies, this interactive book is the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering siblings to live in peace.\nReview 
One of the advantages I found as a classroom teacher working with children and young people is that the 'difficult stuff' like astronomy, physics, chemistry, aspects of PSHE or history gets pre-simplified by an expert who can make such subjects approachable, engaging and appropriately humorous. Dawn Huebner's Sibling Survival Guide is one such book and set to be an invaluable resource. Her strategies and suggestions are pragmatic and workable. Her tone's accessible to her target audience of ten- to twelve-year-olds without ever being patronising - often really tricky when writing for a 'tween' or teen audience. Arguably a mature nine-year-old or anyone in their early to mid-teens, with siblings, can gain hugely from this book. Similarly an only child could just as easily learn much about compromise, sharing, negotiation and cooperation from Dawn's expertise. I like that she alludes to Learning Theory: giving interested readers the opportunity to satisfy themselves Huebner knows what she's talking about in a world where children and young people (quite rightly) are encouraged to fact check and question much of what they're presented as 'expert opinion'. Throughout the book Dawn gives her parent and guardian readers useful tips to steer them away from being the referee of their children's bickering, disputes and arguments. This is all together a thoroughly useful volume: combining positive thinking with logical, workable strategies to reward constructive behaviour and so effect the change one would like to see. One of the other advantages of reading books aimed at children which need to be read beforehand by the adults giving them out is that you can gain an awful lot of helpful advice about your own thinking: encouraging quiet reflection on how you manages your own sibling relationships. Basically when you cannot change your sibling's behaviour: change your own. Then theirs changes. It's sound thinking and Dawn Huebner's written a handy book of wise words ...well worth the investment--Jonathan Charlesworth, Author of Jessica Kingsley Publishers' "How To Stop Homophobic and Biphobic Bullying: A Practical Whole School Approach" (2020)\nOnce again, Dawn Huebner provides invaluable and brilliant advice for children, parents, and therapists. This book on sibling dynamics fills a major void and is a must-have for any child with a sibling. It will enjoy a spot in my office alongside the rest of Dr. Huebner's fantastic books.--Kari Groff MD, NYC Child Psychiatrist, Author, and Speaker\nPacked with practical guidance pitched just right for school-age children, Dr. Huebner's 
Sibling Survival Guide fills a critical need in the literature. The book avoids feeling preachy while inviting children into more effective ways of living with irksome siblings. Those who know Huebner's other work will immediately recognize her practical wisdom, warmth and humor. Those who don't are in for a treat. A must-have for anyone who lives or works with siblings who squabble.--Eileen Kennedy-Moore, PhD, author of 'Growing Friendships' (for kids) and 'Kid Confidence' (for parents)\nSibling conflict is one of the most challenging parts of parenting.
