Whether from television news reports, the car radio, digital media, or adult discussions, children are often bombarded with unsettling information about the world around them.

This updated edition in the bestselling What-to-Do series can help. What-to-Do Guides for Kids are interactive self-help books designed to guide kids using-cognitive-behavioral techniques most often used in the treatment of various psychological concerns. Engaging, encouraging, and easy to follow, these books educate, motivate, and empower children to work towards change.
