I will forever love the power of children's books to help kids feel seen and less alone. Kids' books open the door to conversation about common childhood anxieties. The books on this list act as springboards for discussion, giving grownups an "in" to start important talks about the topics their children worry about. In addition to books, meditation techniques and deep breathing help as well. If self-help strategies do not help to calm your child, however, it is important to seek professional counsel.
