From the bestselling author of How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t With Your Kids comes the ultimate guide for middle grade readers about managing stress and anxiety when life gets chaotic.​ 

Within these pages, readers will learn what a freak out is (and isn’t), discover why people flip out when they’re stressed, practice keeping cool in the most chaotic moments, and choose one of many strategies for calming down when things are totally overwhelming. 
 
Along the way, there are: 
• Quizzes! What’s your freak out style? 
• Truth Bombs! You don’t have to be perfect. 
• Freak Out Facts! There are more nerve cells in your body than there are stars in the Milky Way. 
 
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER: You can—and will—have big, intense, unpleasant feelings. The trick is knowing how to manage them. 
 
Uniquely designed to meet readers ages 8 and up, this book is filled with techniques, tools and most importantly, understanding, to guide readers through all the twists and turns on the roller coaster called LIFE.

  • Children's Books
