📚 Book Rec of the Week: For Kids Who Are Feeling Scared or Anxious 💛

Big feelings can feel really big for little kids. When worry, fear, or self-doubt starts to take over, the right words at the right time can make a huge difference.

This week, we’re loving two gentle, empowering reads to help kids understand their feelings and feel more capable moving through them:

✨ Don’t Feed the Worry Bug
This story helps kids see worry as something outside of themselves and teaches them that the more attention we give worry, the bigger it grows. A great way to start conversations about anxiety in a non-scary, age-appropriate way.

Author:

✨ I Can Do Hard Things: Mindful Affirmations for Kids
A beautiful collection of affirmations that build resilience, confidence, and calm. Perfect for reminding kids (and honestly, adults too) that hard feelings don’t mean they can’t handle hard things.

Author:

Whether your child is scared of school, new experiences, bedtime, or big changes, these books offer reassurance, language, and tools they can carry with them.

Save this post for the next tough moment, or share it with a parent who might need it today.

This week’s book picks are inspired by the release of the new autistic Barbie, a reminder of how powerful it is for kids to see themselves reflected in the world around them.

These stories open the door to conversations about neurodiversity, big feelings, and different ways of experiencing the world. They help kids build empathy, self-understanding, and language for emotions (and help adults do the same).

✨ I See Things Differently
✨ The Boy with Big, Big Feelings

Whether you’re reading these with a child who is autistic, neurodivergent, or simply learning about others, these books send an important message: there’s no one “right” way to be.
