“Fear Not! helps kids understand their anxiety and provides tools kids can try right away.” ―Tina Payne Bryson, PhD, coauthor of The Whole-Brain Child

How can I help my child overcome their fear and anxiety?

What skills can I teach my child to cope with scary “what if” thoughts?

How can I help them grow more confident when their worries seem so big?

Christina Furnival, a licensed mental health therapist and mom, answers these questions in this empowering and uplifting rhyming story about a young boy who successfully faces his anxiety and fear head-on. In Fear Not!, children will learn a practical three-step lesson to manage their worries, regain their cool, and strip fear of its power once and for all.

By teaching children how to confront their fears and mindfully ride the wave of anxiety, this book equips them with the tools they need to deal with the inevitable stressors of life and feel confident no matter the challenge.

There are special picture books out there that help children learn to navigate the world. FEAR NOT: HOW TO FACE YOUR FEAR AND ANXIETY HEAD-ON, the second book in the Capable Kiddos series by Furnival and Dwyer, does just that. There’s a lovely marriage between the illustrations and the rhyming text that peacefully guides readers through tools to handle and overcome fears and anxieties. The story follows the young main character through his journey overcoming fears. The back matter includes conversation starters and discussion questions all written by the author, Christina Furnival, a licensed mental health therapist. Looking forward to the next book in the Capable Kiddos series!

The media could not be loaded.
 With anxiety on the rise I was looking for guidance for my children and Fear Not! delivered. The author shares a practical yet compassionate message with 3 easy steps to overcome anxiety and fear.

I love that both the words and illustrations capture my children’s (5 and 7) attention and interest, as well as mine!

The fun flowing rhythm makes for entertaining and educational reading, and the beautiful illustrations reinforce the important messages.

I also really appreciate the great conversation starters at the back of the book to help parents to continue the discussion with their children.

This is a must-have resource for parents, teachers, school librarians, counselors, and child therapists etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect resource for helping children cope with anxiety and fear!
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2022

Fear Not! is the sequel to The Not-so-Friendly Friend. Written in 1st person point-of-view and rhyming text, the author identifies how fear and anxiety feel in our mind and body. Everyone experiences these feelings, but I feel that children who experience anxiety and fear acutely will greatly benefit from reading this book. The author identifies what will not work and what will work with actionable steps that can be implemented right away. The book concludes with a note to parents and professionals on how to use the book and includes a list of Discussion Questions to help start a conversation with a child. The perfect resource for helping children cope with anxiety and fear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fear is the mind killer. I will face my fear.
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2022

The presentation of this story is an improvement from the last. This story is told in first person, which I feel is more relatable when addressing such a complex topic as facing your fears. I read this on Kindle but really feel that a physical book would be a more powerful medium. The swiping and expansion of the beautiful illustrations detracts from the story and makes telling the story to a child more challenging. I really enjoyed the illustrations, simple and yet intimate. The colors scheme is inviting and complements the narrative well.

Did a great job helping kids name and explain some of the symptoms of anxiety they might be feeling and practical ideas for managing anxiety, but the rhyme was a little irritating, and kindle format was glitchy.

I am a school counselor in grades PK-5th Grade. I can't wait to read this book to my students in group and individual counseling. Book explores fears, and the different ways people will process and move through it. I especially liked the steps in facing and coping with fear. Excellent book, age appropriate, and well written.

This is a good book for any parent or educator to teach children how to cope with their fears in a way they can understand. I like how she gives examples of coping skills and the grounding technique of becoming aware of your senses. It is also very helpful that she gives conversation starters and discussion questions. As well as, that is part of a series to address other issues. I know as a school counselor I will use this with my students!

Reviewed in Canada on April 23, 2022

Fear Not! Is such an important read. With beautiful illustrations and empowering rhymes, it conveys what didn’t work for the character in the book in regards to managing his fears and worries, then provides his step-by-step plan of what did. It is extremely relatable for all. There are so many encouraging lines such as “The more that I practiced, the better I got at using my tools, telling fear: I’ll fear NOT!” At the end of the book there are great conversation starters and discussion questions about fears and worries. Such a fantastic book to equip children, educators and parents with effective coping skills. This book will definitely be on my resource shelf as I counsel young children and youth.
