Kids’ Books on Mental Health and Wellbeing

Resources to Help Our Kids Thrive New Kids’ Books on Mental Health and Wellbeing We know it helps children to have words to describe difficult feelings or experiences. That’s why we like to keep up with new books for kids that address mental health and learning challenges in age-appropriate ways. Some books help kids name and understand powerful feelings like anger or sadness. Others are more specific, focusing on mental health or learning disorders like anxiety, ADHD, or dyslexia. We’ve just added 35 new ones to our recommended reading list. This week we invite you to check out our updated list, which now contains 75 books vetted by our clinicians. From an anxious robot having “A Case of the Zaps” to a young boy dealing with “Dragons on the Inside,” they use vivid stories and illustrations to help kids talk about their own struggles. We’re also offering advice from our experts on how to keep kids reading this summer, how to give them the structure they need during vacations, and how to let them learn from free time, even if they’re sometimes bored. – Caroline Miller, Editorial Director |    75 Children's Books About Mental Health Best books for helping kids understand emotional and learning challenges.
