Today I'm talking to Meredith Renshaw who is a Registered Dietician and Instagram favorite.

Today I’m talking about the three latest additions to my kids bookshelf. I chose these books specifically for children who worry. These are wonderful picture books to read to kids who are 10 years old and younger. They are enjoyable simply as stories, or as openings to conversations about worries and how we can adjust our thinking around them.
The links below go to www.Bookshop.org which is an online bookstore that supports local Mom and Pop bookstores in your local area. And when I checked, these books were even cheaper than on Amazon! Woohoo!
