Synopsis "A Workbook for Kids Who Worry: Fun Activities to Help Children Face Their Fears and Build a Flexible Mindset Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy"

Fun and evidence-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) skills to help kids face their fears and live joyfully. Written for children ages 5 to12, this fun and engaging workbook is based on proven-effective acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help kids understand their worries, recognize their thoughts and feelings, and discover what they can and cannot control. Packed with friendly illustrations and exercises, kids can embark on a playful adventure of self-discovery. They will also learn how to deal with unpleasant thoughts, work through difficult emotions, and develop a flexible mindset. Anxiety is among the most common mental health concerns in kids, and it can significantly impact their ability to function. Kids who worry excessively struggle to perform well at school, have difficulty making and maintaining friendships, and may miss out on many life-enriching activities. This anxiety can build up and manifest itself in the form of intense emotional outbursts and tantrums, often resulting in increased family turmoil. And this extreme worrying can also cause kids to avoid triggering situations, which only reinforces their inflexible thinking. Once children learn how to respond to their worries effectively, they'll be more empowered and confident to face their fears head-on. Most importantly, kids will discover that they can safely partake in experiences that bring joy and a sense of fulfillment. In these increasingly challenging times, kids and teens need mental health resources more than ever. With more than 3 million copies sold worldwide and translated into 260 languages, Instant Help Books are easy to use, proven-effective, and recommended by therapists.

Russ Harris es un médico, psicoterapeuta y divulgador australiano reconocido internacionalmente por su trabajo en la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT, por sus siglas en inglés). Tras ejercer la medicina general, orientó gran parte de su carrera a la salud mental, desarrollando materiales de formación para profesionales y libros dirigidos al público general. Su obra más conocida, The Happiness Trap, se convirtió en un referente dentro de la psicología contemporánea al cuestionar la idea de que la felicidad constante debe ser el objetivo principal de la vida, proponiendo en cambio una relación más flexible y saludable con los pensamientos y las emociones.

La escritura de Harris destaca por traducir conceptos psicológicos complejos en herramientas prácticas y fáciles de aplicar. A través de ejemplos cotidianos y ejercicios concretos, ha contribuido a difundir la ACT en numerosos países y contextos clínicos. Además de The Happiness Trap, ha publicado obras dedicadas al manejo de la ansiedad, el estrés y la resiliencia emocional. Su enfoque pone el acento en la atención plena, la aceptación y la acción guiada por valores personales, ofreciendo estrategias que buscan mejorar la calidad de vida sin prometer fórmulas mágicas ni soluciones instantáneas.
