How many kids do you know with Attention Deficit Disorder who don't live with anxiety? I know very few. Anxiety and ADD go hand-in-hand for many children, especially in the classroom. The National Association on Mental Illness stated that, "According to a 2008 NIMH-supported study, over 30 percent of children living with ADHD also live with anxiety."Anxiety in the school setting doesn't help the child with Attention Deficit Disorder. It makes them look unmotivated, since they are anxious about turning in a substandard assignment. Often, they don't turn in assignments and get into trouble. This can lead to absences at school or the child becoming defiant. Anxiety needs to be dealt with for the child to work effectively in school. Starting early can help, since the young child does not have years of anxious failure to work through.There is a new tool in the fight against anxiety in young children who have psychological differences. Kari Dunn Buron has written and illustrated a book titled When My Worries Get Too Big! A Relaxation Book for Children Who Live with Anxiety. Kari Buron has taught special needs students for more than thirty years and is a member of the Illinois State University Hall of Fame. The book has a Foreword by Brenda Smith Myles, PhD. When My Worries Get Too Big! A Relaxation Book for Children Who Live with Anxiety is designed to teach children to assess their anxiety level and to follow up by self-regulating those anxious feelings.Using psychoeducation and cognitive behavior management, this book which melds a story book approach with a workbook format, teaches kids how to recognize anxiety. They learn strategies for lowering anxious feelings and returning themselves to a state of relaxation. The book uses a five point scale to assess anxiety.
