Worries Are Not Forever / Las Preocupaciones No Duran Para Siempre, 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 bilingual English-Spanish 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 how to calm worries by talking to someone, getting a hug, keeping hands and bodies busy, thinking good thoughts, and more. Also includes a special section with tips for adults in both languages.
