    i found this book to be a positive way to address and demystify anxiety. I liked how it left you feeling what an awesome person you are and gives you some helpful tips on how to manage the overactive flight/fight mechanism that rears up as panic attacks and/or adrenaline fuelled response. Understanding what occurs in your body helps to alleviate the worry about anxious thoughts and reactions and settles in your mind what is taking place and what to do about it. The thoughtful illustrations are soft and engaging too. I bought this for myself and for a friend. We both work in Early Education.

    I bought the book for a friend and her daughter and they love it!! I think most importantly it facilitated a more open dialog were her daughter is comfortable expressing herself. An observation on my part.

    Plus it can fom another continent so they kept the postage from its exciting adventure!!

    What a lovely book. My 9 and 11 year old daughters have their fears and anxieties about all kinds of things in life but most significantly with starting something new. We are moving to a new school district next month so you can understand how that can affect any child. We are very pleased with the way this book explains what is actually happening with your mind and body when it comes to feeling anxiety. Understanding what is happening to ourselves and our feelings is so important in living life and this book portrays that through words and imagery.

    My 9 year old daughter has been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks for a few months. I love this book because of the way it explains the mechanisms behind and reasons for stress and anxiety and gives clear, actionable methods to better manage oneself that are accessible to a a child of her age and emotional and mental stages of development.

    I will say that putting in place a daily ritual to habitualise the strategies given in the book requires support from me – she’s not old enough to do it alone.

    The book is also beautifully illustrated and very aesthetically appealing (at least to my tastes..).

    Thank you!

    Well presented ,illustrated and explained and most importantly my 10 year old son is understanding why sometimes we feel the way do.

    My boys loved these books so I purchased them as end of year teacher gifts.

    My 9 year old son absolutely loves this book. It’s written SO well. We read it together sometimes, but I also see him reaching for it by himself.

    My son, who is almost 10, is clearly empowered by this book. The page about the physical manifestations of anxiety gave him a big “aha moment.” We read it together often, at his request. I also bought the key chain and we do some goofy role playing with it where Lookout (his name for his amygdala) is afraid of things and we talk him through it. I’m so glad we purchased these and it was well worth the wait as it was shipped overseas. Thank you!

    This is a beautiful book! My 6 year old son and 9 year old daughter both loved it in its ability to teach about the value of befriending our amygdala and appreciate its helpful intentions for our safety. They both had fun naming their inner warriors and by the end of the book they were engaged with the various strategies to become the boss of their own bodies and allow their warriors to relax. I’m a psychotherapist and would happily recommend this book to most of my adult clients as well!! It’s a very clear, non-pathologizing and empowering way to understand our nervous systems and develop emotion regulation. Thanks so much:)

    i bought this book for my son, who is struggling since starting in his new class at school. He is been testes for autism however I feel anxiety with the pandemic has brought many of his traits on. My son loves this book and it has helped massively! He is back to staying in his own bed and going to school with no tears. I used the sticker the book was sealed with and he wears it on his school jumper so if he feels the big emotion he can touch it to remind himself he’s ok. We are due our third child in the next few weeks and i am going to buy the soft toy for him and his sister as i’m sure they are going to feel anxious when the new arrival comes so thought it would be a nice gift for the baby to give to its siblings. I am also a primary school teacher and will use this book for many years to come to help in the classroom!

    I have a 16 year old son with high functioning autism who struggles with OCD. Hey Warrior was recommended by his therapist and I was so impressed with how the author could take such a complex subject and explain it terms that were simple and yet still relatable to older kids. The book helps takes the shame out of feeling anxious by explaining it in a positive way. Thank you!

    Helpful tool in assisting my 8 year old with his very active mind and feelings. Sometimes we take in “too much” and wish we had different filters. This book simplifies the very human experience of anxiety for children, and most importantly validates this super strength that at times feels paradoxically something to be at odds with. Thank you for the wonderful addition to the toolbelt!
