Casey, the fourteen year old narrator, knows just what it's like to
be miserable. It started slowly: backing away from birthday
parties, avoiding the Fourth of July fireworks, leaving before the
end of movies. By second grade, stomach aches and tantrums before
school seemed as common as strawberry jelly on toast. Then, just
before her fourth grade chorus concert-as her mom was braiding her
hair-Casey puked. No concert. No post-concert ice cream with her
friends. Only a night filled with tears. Everything changed that
next morning. Casey and her mom had had enough The days of being
timid were over. They got mad and decided then and there to solve
the puzzle called worry. Casey expresses a serious commitment to
the task, but couples it with feisty, irreverent humor, as she
releases a gaggle of characters and their stories. The narrative
offers cautious kids (and their sometimes worried, often frustrated
parents) a realistic guide for stepping into the new and scary
experiments that arrive at each developmental stage, right up
through the teen years. Will her frightful encounter with the
snarling dog keep her forever from walking to the bus stop, or the
ominous storm clouds end her fun at the water park? Will an
asparagus-dog with cheese get her into the clubhouse-building
project? Can you really talk to your worry like it's a squirrel?
Will Lindsey's coaching to "loosen up and scream" actually help her
handle the scary-but-awesome one-minute and fifty-two second Yankee
Cannonball roller coaster? In PLAYING WITH ANXIETY: CASEY'S GUIDE
FOR TEENS AND KIDS, the companion book to Reid Wilson and Lynn
Lyons' parenting book, ANXIOUS KIDS, ANXIOUS PARENTS: 7 WAYS TO
STOP THE WORRY CYCLE AND RAISE COURAGEOUS & INDEPENDENT
CHILDREN (HCI Books, 2013), Casey includes stories of everyday
encounters-imagining warm chocolate chip cookies coming out of the
oven, brother Elliot's MARSH MAN comic book-as well as surprising
feats-the accidental discovery of Post-it Notes, Benjamin's uncle
Steve's jump from the helicopter, blind Eric Weihenmayer's climb of
the Seven Summits-to show the reader how to face the trials of the
middle years.
