Review Quotes

"Fear Not! helps kids understand their anxiety and provides tools kids can try right away."

--Tina Payne Bryson, PhD, coauthor of The Whole-Brain Child

"Fear Not! not only normalizes anxiety for kids who feel alone with their fears, but also provides step-by-step guidance with a completely child-centric, empowering approach. This lovely, approachable guide shows children how to identify when they're feeling worried, then shows them what to do about it!"

--Whitney Casares, MD, MPH, FAAP, author of The Working Mom Blueprint: Winning at Parenting Without Losing Yourself

"I love this book so much and will absolutely share this with my children, one of whom is particularly prone to anxiety and big fears. I appreciate how the story is told by a child, to a child. Christina first highlights what doesn't work when it comes to managing anxiety, which is incredibly useful. And the simple step-by-step plan for kids to follow makes so much sense and feels doable. I'm so thankful Christina created this incredible resource!"

--Kate Borsato, therapist, educator for moms, and founder of the Perinatal Mental Health Collective
