Worries Are Not Forever / Las Preocupaciones No Duran Para, De Verdick, Elizabeth. Editorial Free Spirit Publishing, Tapa Blanda En Inglés, 2020

Descripción

New English-Spanish bilingual edition gives young children strategies to ease anxieties and worries and feel better again. Everyone feels worried or anxious at times, and young children are no exception. Friendly and supportive, this bilingual English-Spanish book explains what worries are and how it feels to be worried, assuring children that lots of kids—and grown-ups too—feel worried. Children learn that there are many ways to help their worries go away: “Guess what? You are bigger than your worries. You can learn to make your worries smaller and smaller and smaller.” Talking about worries, moving around, keeping hands busy, breathing deeply, getting a big hug, and thinking good thoughts are all ways for children to cope with worries. A special section for adults in both languages offers activities and discussion starters for home, school, and child care.

The Best Behavior® bilingual series uses simple words in English and Spanish and delightful full-color illustrations to guide children to choose peaceful, positive behaviors. Select titles are available in a durable board book for ages baby to preschool and a longer, more in-depth paperback for ages four to seven. Kids, parents, and teachers love these books. All include helpful tips and ideas for parents and caregivers.
