Michelle Garcia Winner, the Founder of Social Thinking, says:

"Ever wonder what feeds ANXIETY in many of our clients and children? Kate Collins-Donnelly takes a unique approach to tackling anxiety in children and teens by pointing the finger at the inner Anxiety Gremlin. The more we feed the gremlin, the more it grows and exerts it’s power. This workbook is designed to teach practical strategies, based on Cognitive Behavior Therapy principles (CBT), for taming and starving one’s anxiety. One of the best parts of any of the three books in the Gremlin series in the real-life stories from others struggling with the same challenges. This clever workbook is a must have for mental health professionals, educators, therapists, parents or anyone working with or supporting a child struggling with anxiety."
