Review: good for a variety of ages - My daughter had a real hard time adjusting to public school last year. So our therapist suggested one of the other books in this series about worry. I bought three in the series. Fun part is all of my nieces have read them and my daughter thinks it is fun to tackle her problems now that it has just be reduced to using lessons and logic. We have really used them often and will continue, great life skills here, simplified!
Review: Great book for helping kids deal with things - I have bought a few of these books by Dawn Huebner and I love them. They are really great at helping me as a parent help my kids work thru whatever we need to deal with right now. They are written in such a way that you can go thru the books together chapter-by-chapter and talk about things at each step. In this book, the focus starts with why we have bad habits and goes on to strategies on how to help your child get over them. Very helpful and highly recommended

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great series for children adn parents
*by T***D on February 18, 2016*

Best set of books to give younger children applicable coping skills. The books have short easy to read chapters. The tips on dealing with different issues are age appropriate and easy to learn. I would say this set of books is best suited for 2nd-6th graders based on the reading level. Although the skills could be used by any age. I purchased a couple different titles. I wouldn't mind owning the entire series, just to keep as reference books.
