Worries Are Not Forever, Board book

It's normal for toddlers to worry and feel anxious--they have enough experience with the world to know that things may go wrong. With warmth and empathy, this board book helps little ones understand what it means to worry and that "Everybody worries, even grown-ups. But worries are not forever. You can help your worries go away." Through colorful illustrations and simple ideas, toddlers learn to talk to someone, get a hug, keep hands and bodies busy, think good thoughts, and more. Also includes tips for parents and caregivers.
