A Smart Girl's Guide: Worry: How to Feel Less Stressed and Have More Fun (American Girl)

LOVE these books! My 10 year old has started having some of the normal self doubt and worries that happen at this age and this book was a great ready for her to understand and process it

I read this from cover to cover and I love the advices it gave me. I truly enjoyed it very much.

I love this series and have bought so many for my 11 year old daughter. Sometimes kids just don’t want to hear it from mom and these books are amazing for when she needs a little different advice. The advice in this book is honest, real but very age appropriate.

The Feelings Book Journal has been a really helpful way for kids to start recognizing and expressing their emotions in a simple, structured way. It encourages reflection without being overwhelming, and the prompts are easy enough for younger users to understand and complete on their own or with light guidance. I like that it normalizes talking about feelings and gives a consistent outlet for emotional check-ins, which can be especially useful during busy or changing seasons of life. The format is approachable and doesn’t feel like a “task,” which helps with consistency. Overall, it’s a solid, supportive journal that helps build emotional awareness in a gentle, age-appropriate way.

Can’t say enough good things about these American girl books. Get each one of them, they are so helpful to my daughters and to me!

Bought it for my daughter to see if it would help ease some of her worries. She’s already read the book multiple times and said it’s helped her cope with getting ready for a new school. Going to buy the other books in the series!

I have been reading this with my 6 year old and it opens up good conversation. Actually learning some of the challenges she faces as times change

I have a hard time always saying the right things for my daughter as she grows up. All of these books in the series has helped us both so much! We read them together and she goes over it by herself. It has really helped us open up and talk to each other about situation and how to handle them. Our communication skills with each other have gotten better. It has helped her so much learn how to deal with certain decisions. I highly recommend these to every parent that wants an open communication with there daughter but not sure how to go about it!!!

Correcto

My daughter was struggling because of stress and now she is reading this book and she got much better with controlling her own feelings.

These are a good set of books for girls growing up and needing some expert (but not bossy parent) advice. WE have 3 of these now, and whilst my 10YO and 8YO both say they've never read them for fear of admitting a problem, I've found them both secretly absorbed on several occasions. An important parenting thing for me. Sometimes not forcing the issue and providing the assistance is enough. My eldest is a worrier but wold never admit it. Nice to see a book that addresses the causes for this age group, and how to manage or accept things. The content is set out in a plain, well illustrated way that takes you through the problem, why it happens, how to manage it, and ways to cope. Some solid advice provided in a lovely, empathetic way. It wasn't till they arrived and I was perusing that I realised these books were published by American Girl. If you have girls, they are the holy grail of 18 inch dolls. We have the cheaper version in our house BUT importantly that link made sure that my daughters trusted the content that little bit more.

Our 11 year old daughter has been diagnosed with anxiety and this book has been a great companion to therapy. She enjoys the personalized strategies and cute pictures. Being from American Girl helped her “accept” it as being more credible.

Haven't read but daughter likes it so ot must be good
