How To Tame My Anxiety Monster is about a child with a monster that no one else can see but him. He doesn't like when his monster comes around because it makes his stomach hurt, or makes it hard to concentrate or sleep. It makes him feel lots of other upsetting and uncomfortable things as well. He decided to talk to his parents about it and his mom told him that she had one too. He learned that his monster's name was Anxiety. Throughout the book the child talks about the ways that he can tame his anxiety monster. He can play sports, do yoga, art, or talk to a therapist to help calm him among other things. He then discovers the good ways that his anxiety monster can help him; during a test, a report, or riding a big scary-fun rollercoaster! He may not be able to make his monster go away, but he can learn to tame him! In the back of this book are some parent helps that can be great conversation starters for children that deal with anxiety.
This book is a subjective account of stories my mother told me. It is not written for historical accuracy. Rather, it is a celebration of my heritage. The book is a sharing of stories that Mom told me of her life from her arrival in Grand Falls, Newfoundland, Canada. Mom was born in rural Newfoundland in the early 1900s. During the first fourteen years of her life, she and her family lived a very isolated lifestyle. Things changed one day when she got on a sled. The journey from dog sled, to ship, to train was an introduction to a change of lifestyle. There would be no going back to a winter house. If you are interested in what her life was like prior to this, please read the previous book entitled: Moms Stories. As you read, I hope you will visualize the life of a single woman in-service, grasp her desire for independence, travel with her in your mind back to an isolated community and experience her reaction to the physical environment of that time and how it impacted her world view. I compiled these memories so that future generations would know something of the heritage and the struggle that she faced as life in town changed her. Allow me to reiterate that I do not promise a factual account of any of the events. I cling to the personal accounts of our Mom as she told them to me.
In Japan, the high-speed train may not be faster than a speeding bullet, but it's close. Traveling at almost 200 mph, the bullet train speeds across the country. It has helped cities grow and made it easier to live far from them. Although it looks like science fiction it is more than fifty years old.
