Superpowered: Transform Anxiety into Courage, Confidence, and Resilience

Every kid with anxiety should have this book
This is the best book EVER! I am so incredibly grateful for this resource for my 11 (almost 12) year old who has been struggling with anxiety since the start of the pandemic. It's been a godsend. My son hasn't made much headway with therapists since it takes so long for him to warm up to them. This book speaks directly to him, demystifying the anxiety, offers concrete tools for addressing it, empowering messages, and written in such an inviting and comfortable tone. It makes the whole thing less scary and more manageable. It lets him know that he's not alone. I could go on and on. I've just bought extra copies to give out to the school counselor and other friends who's kids are dealing with this. Thank you Dr. Jain and Dr.Shefali!!!

Practical tools to handle anxiety
We are grateful to have a brilliant book like this one in our house, itโs for the kids but our whole family love it.As a child mental health advocate I have read a lot books about anxiety but this ones portraits real stories that make the kids feel that they are not the only ones going through all these feelings and emotions.I highly recommend it, itโs not only for the child that has been diagnosed with anxiety itโs for every single kids because growing up they find a lot of challenges in life and this book provides practical tools that they can put into action in those moments. Amazing job Dr. Jain and Dr.Shefali

Important book for pre-teens needing to truly understand their anxiety
I am reading this aloud to my daughter. After the first chapter, I asked if anything felt like it rang true. She replied, "every single word. can you order my friends a copy?" She goes back and fills in the pages by herself (for privacy) at the end of the chapters.I pre-ordered the day Dr. Shefali announced the book in March. She said it was for teens and pre-teens. It shines a comic driven light unto hard topics. In this recent upside down world we are all struggling. Thank you Dr. Shefali and Renee Jain for writing a pathway out of the dark. This is helpful in addition to checking in with professional help.

Perfect for 7 year old!
My 7-year old daughter absolutely loved this book! She especially enjoyed the exercises, the characters and the message on dealing with anxiety/stressors/confidence. We initially began reading together, as it was my intent to help her through the topics she may have not grasped. However, instead of waiting on me she read on her own and understood everything! The authors did a phenomenal job breaking down these difficult topics such that a young person could appreciate and comprehend. I highly recommend this book!

LOVE IT and my 10 year old does too!!
This book is a must for kids!! My 10 year old has been reading it BY CHOICE and he is about 2/3 the way finished!! He has a teacher that is challenging this year, as well as are the times in 2020. I am very grateful that he is so interested in this book and it has value for sure!! I read the first 1/3 before I decided it was worthy and appropriate for my kid. I 100% recommend this book!!!!

Amazing book
I first got this book via the elibrary to check out if it would be a good fit for my 9 year old. I was going to scan through the first chapter or two and I ended up reading and loving the whole thing for myself and am so excited to read it with all my kids as they get older. What a powerful message in a universally understood set of stories.

Life-Changing Book for Mental Health and Wellness!
I am a mom of an 8 year old and a 5 year old. I am 36 years old and experienced depression 5 years ago. I can tell you that the MANY strategies anf supports that I learned as an adult over the past 5 years are covered in this book at a level that kids as young as 5 can understand. The authors combine science and their own personal experience to explain why we feel, think, and act the way we do. I am actually not just sharing this book with my children but reading it myself. This is the first book I have ever come across that makes so much sense and the fact that it is written for children makes this an absolute must-have. Not just for kids who experience anxiety. This is a book about overall mental health and wellness. I wish I had this as a child and wish I even had it 5 years ago as an adult. Bravo to the authors ๐๐๐

Great book!
This book conveys valuable psychological knowledge and advice in an accurate, concise and very practical way. I can really recommend it - not only for adolescents but also for adults.

Every kid should read it
I brought this for my 3 kids aged 12,10 and 8 but realised that one wasnโt enough! Got them one each and they love their copy, making the most of all the activities.My kids donโt suffer with anxiety as such but they do need all the tools in this book...we all do! The learnings are great for prevention not just cure!
