Anxious Ninja: A Children's Book About Managing Anxiety and Difficult Emotions (Ninja Life Hacks)

I think the author has done it again by producing a fun book that really gets to the heart of a real problem like anxiety and provides kids with an easy to remember tool to help them manage their own anxieties. I also love how the various ninjas provide advice and guidance to each other in these books. I think it is a positive example of teamwork and supporting your friends.

Got this book as a part of my sons many birthday presents. He has ADHD and struggles with self and anxiety. I think this children's book collection is perfect for him. So far I have received the Anxious Ninja and the Anger Ninja will be in soon. The book has easy words that my 6 years can read by himself without help, but still has a great message. Its perfect for him. I cant wait to get them all for him and help him understand his emotions.

My kiddo is constantly saying he can’t do something or it’s too hard. This book gives him a strategy in a fun way and real life scenario that a 5 yr old would face to recognize what he can control. And then he does it. Morning routines are easier when he can do this and is cooperative vs anxious. We love all the books we have read in this series (5 total so far with more to come).

Mary Nhin explores a sensitive area for all kids (adults too!), anxiety. The story teaches us that when we focus on our fears, we falter. In this book, we learn the three Rs to overcoming those fears and cheer as Anxious Ninja races to the finish line. Fun life lessons to share while snuggled up for reading time with your kids.

My daughter loves this book and the whole series of ninjas. They’ve given her the words to talk about how she’s feeling and created an opportunity for us to work through big feelings together. Highly reccomended the entire series.

My family loves this book, my kids implement the three R exercise. They have even stopped us in our fragile moments and reminded us to do the 3Rs. What a great way to help parents and kids learn to recognize and remedy anxiety.

Anxious Ninja is a talented runner who wins every practice race. When the big day arrives, Anxious Ninja begins to worry what if he doesn't win. He loses confidence in himself and the race as well, Gritty Ninja offers some advice. Remember the 3 R's. On race day, Recognize that you can't control the situation, relax and take deep breaths, and Refocus on the goal of winning, What do you think will happen when Anxious Ninja decides to take his advice? This book is part of a series that teaches young children how to deal with their fears and emotions. I heartily recommend this one, especially for primary grade children.

I’m not sure what age group this book is aiming for (my guess is 1-3graders) I’m glad I read the book before reading with my soon to be first grader! Yes the book is cute and the illustrations give a good visual BUT , the language is far from the assumed target age! I had to pick out quite a few words that I kinda knew my 6year old would have no clue what I was reading to him , and kinda come up with a simpler explanation of what the author was going for ! I’m sorry but what young school age child knows what words like “mantra” means ... or “underperform” my son is special needs and on the spectrum , he picked this book out souly on his own (he related to the cover picture) while Skimming amazon for age appropriate books to possibly help with expressing and handling different emotions...

Muito fraco

This is a great little book for adults as well as youngsters, and possibly my favourite so far in this cool ninja series. When Anxious Ninja learns the 3 Rs (Recognise, Relax and Refocus), he learns that his anxiety doesn’t need to control him. We may not all have the skills to win a running race, but we all have areas in our lives where anxiety holds us back from giving our best performance, and this book provides valuable, but simple-to-follow, advice. Go Team Ninja!

This book is great for all kids. It will help teach those that are anxious to ground and feel better and help others help those with anxiety. It's a sweet book!

Used for 7 year old coping with anxiety. It was a game changer.

Stress for kids is just as real as it is for adults. This book is a great way to help kids deal with anxiety in their lives.
