Oscar Meets his Worry Chimp
|
Oscar is a bit of a worrier. In fact, Oscar like many children, worries about lots of things he doesn’t really need to worry about; including worrying about school, doing something new or not being very good at a new activity. Join him on his exciting journey as he meets his Worry Chimp and learns how to stop worrying once and for all!
The HappiMe books are designed for 6-10-year olds and are engaging, informative and interactive. The books teach children about the way our brain works and how our negative, worrying thoughts are just that – thoughts. What gives a thought power is the emotion we attach to it and how much we focus on it -and they are not necessarily true! Using CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), positive psychology and mindfulness techniques this book teaches children how to recognise these thoughts and how to choose a more helpful way of thinking. The HappiMe books complement the HappiMe app, a free, innovative app aimed at improving self-esteem and self-confidence in children, young people and adults. We are on a mission to rid the world of anxiety, worry and negative, self-sabotaging beliefs! 100% of our parent readers said they would recommend this book to another parent! All profits from our children's books are reinvested to help keep the HappiMe apps free for children and young people. |

powerful message, delivered in a simple, engaging way. Just as we struggle with the noisy voices in our minds as adults, children can also be burdened with worries. This book teaches children how to recognise and challenge negative thoughts - the voice of their Chimp - in an inspiringly simple and engaging way. I wish I'd had this book when I was 6 - there's surely no better time for a person to learn CBT techniques that will serve them for a lifetime. Highly recommended. |
Great little book for Children Great little book for Children. As a therapist I highly recommend this and the Happime App to all my clients and I am glad this resource exists. A must read for little worriers. Suzy A MUST read for parents of little worriers who want to become warriors A perfect book for children who worry. With the new school term approaching soon this a MUST read. |
Don't worry - be happy!! I loved this book!! As a retired teacher I know from experience that many children worry unnecessarily about the things that happen in their daily lives. This book draws on the latest research to explain the inner workings of the brain and is written in an easy to understand, appealing and colourful way. It uses the loveable Oscar as the central character, and explains how it is possible to ditch the Chimp, and embrace the HappiTar to choose more empowering thought patterns for our lives. If you have a child who worries like Oscar, this book will explain how to understand and deal with life's challenges, opening the door to a happier life!! |
