O balão das preocupações

The balloon activity is woven so naturally into the story that my daughter didn't realize she was learning a coping technique until we finished and practiced it ourselves. The guide at the end gave us clear steps to try on real anxious evenings, and it's already become our bedtime ritual.

My five-year-old was nervous about starting school, and this book’s balloon-blowing technique helped her actually talk about her worries. The included guide gave me clear ways to follow up the story. She asks to read it every night.

My son starts kindergarten next week, and reading this together last night actually made him excited to try the balloon trick instead of nervous. The guide at the end gave me some helpful phrases to use when he's feeling anxious.
