"The Book of No Worries" by Lizzie Cox and Tanya Stevanovic (QED Publishing)

With a daughter at the age where there are so many different things to juggle all at once, books like this are absolutely vital...
"The Book of No Worries" by Lizzie Cox and Tanja Stevanovic is absolutely spot on for C, who is currently in her final year of Junior School with all the pressures of exams, deciding on a senior school - and all the non-school things to worry about too.

Worry is the key word here, and this essential guide covers a multitude of worries and anxieties that a young person may face while growing up.

Children over 10 often have to deal with a bigger, scarier school, increased pressure to study and get good grades while making and maintaining friendships.

Add to that the non-stop nature of social media and the added pressure that it brings and it’s no surprise anxiety and depression is on the increase.

Mindfulness - One way of easing your mind, meditating and slowing down the pace of a hectic life

Friendly, funny  and informative text aims to reassure tweens that their worries and fears are normal and offers practical tips for managing anxiety and stress

What's going on in your child's mind? As useful for adults as children, this book's presentation is incredibly friendly and informative

For example practicing mindfulness and meditation. The text features case studies and questions from 'real-life' anonymous readers. All worries are recognised, whether it's problems at school, relationship woes, body image issues or troubles at home – positive text and advice will help young people survive angst and stress that can bring them down.

The fragile matters of the heart. Thankfully we're not quite there with this yet!

Real quotes from case studies also help to give the book a more 'human' face as kids can identify with the worries and anxieties of real-life peers.

We really loved the approach in this. Not preachy, just good solid advice soothingly and calmly delivered.

An absolute must-have for your tweens.

C's best bit: Some good solid and sensible stuff about the move to senior school, which is quite scary and daunting for a youngster.

Daddy's favourite bit: Good solid sensible advice not delivered in a preachy way. Really nicely done this, and absolutely perfect for C who is going through a lot of this stuff at the moment herself.
