Status Updates From Outsmarting Worry (An Older...

kiddo is still really into this. When we start to read "a chapter" at bedtime before switching to a novel, he often asks for one (or more) additional chapters of this one. He listens quietly, attempts the mindfulness exercises as I read the steps, and really seems to be getting something out of it. I'm impressed and pleased. ...and yes, I'm getting something out of it too as I share his tendency to anxiety.

We've been reading a chapter or two of this before switching to the Upside-Down Magic series each night as bedtime stories. Kiddo (8) is enjoying it. He tends to be very anxious and a worrier and seems to like the evolutionary explanations of why we worry a lot.
