Mixed feelings, not for toddlers
Derived From Web , Dec 11, 2021
My 3yos - Doctor recommended books about anxiety for controlling anxiety issues. I asked and this one was recommended by some mother friends. While reading it, it really did not resonate with me. It is definitely beyond toddler comprehension, I am not sure if it would be effective for older children. I think I am looking for a book talking about what makes us feel anxious and what to do with these feelings from a toddler perspective. I think that calling it a monster sends the wrong message or detracts from the important message.

A great message for kids and people with anxiety of all ages!
Derived From Web , Oct 28, 2021
This book has a great message in it : anxiety can be manageable! The story is well-written and uses the imagery of a monster as anxiety in a way that is understandable and relatable for children. And the illustrations are super cute, the text complimenting nicely. I even sent a copy to my college-aged daughter, who suffers from anxiety!

Great for children with anxiety
Derived From Web , Aug 24, 2021
I loved this story ''. My daughter suffers from anxiety and it was so nice to have a book that can normalize it and not make it look like something that has made her different. It was nice to have a story teach children about acknowledging their anxiety and learning how to deal and understand it.

A very helpful story for all children
Derived From Web , Apr 30, 2021
I wished I had something like this when I was a kid. I have a lot of anxiety issues. This is a great book that helps children understand why they feel anxious and what to do with their emotions. I like that it also talks about how other adults and people have their own anxiety monster and may be different, but there are different ways in which everyone can tame their anxiety - affect monster. A really beautiful and simple story. I also love the illustrations.

A needed and very beautiful book
Derived From Web , Jul 29, 2020
It is so important that children not only learn about themselves, but also have that little monster anxiety buried within them. It feels so good if you can talk to someone that understands you, can be such a game changer for your own life. I think the way Melanie Hawkins tells this story is so open-minded. If you learn to know your monster, you can make him less scary and in fact very helpful. The most beautiful illustrations in the book are amazing and make the narrative so clear to understand.

Teach them about anxiety early
Derived From Web , Jun 26, 2020
I wish someone told me about anxiety when I was a kid or teen, since I was really struggling with my own monster for many years. And I am so glad that our children won 't be alone against these monsters, as parents are here for them to help with books like this. We read it with my daughter, she is 7 the other day and I asked her if she feels like that too, and she said that she sometimes feels like that too, so we talked a lot about it and I am sure she will talk more. It is really a helpful book and I am happy that we have it!
