"My stomach feels like it's tied up in a knot. My knees lock up, and my face feels hot. You know what I mean? I'm Wilma Jean, The Worry Machine." Anxiety is a subjective sense of worry, apprehension, and/or fear. It is considered to be the number one health problem in America. Although quite common, anxiety disorders in children are often misdiagnosed and overlooked. Everyone feels fear, worry and apprehension from time to time, but when these feelings prevent a person from doing what he/she wants and/or needs to do, anxiety becomes a disability. This fun and humorous book addresses the problem of anxiety in a way that relates to children of all ages. It offers creative strategies for parents and teachers to use that can lessen the severity of anxiety. The goal of the book is to give children the tools needed to feel more in control of their anxiety. For those worries that are not in anyone's control (i.e. the weather) a worry hat is introduced. A fun read for Wilmas of all ages! Includes a note to parents and educators with tips on dealing with an anxious child.

If so, then it is time to clean the filth between your ears and make room for a mindset that empowers you to live your perfect purpose and become who God intended for you to be. The Dirty-Minded Christian introduces a simple transformative principle to help you ADAPT2 lifes daily challenges and equip yourself for success. You cant always control what happens in the world around you; but there is one thing that only you can control-how you interpret your thoughts and respond to lifes events, no matter how trivial.

Realize that everything, including your mind, requires constant T-Training and education. T-Trust in God in all you do, all the time. The ADAPT2 Principle will help, regardless of your background. So, if you have a dirty mind, dont worry about it; youre human! Youre not alone, and with these techniques, concepts and strategies, things will begin to improve. You will shift from stressing about what you are going to do, to confidently asking yourself; how can I ADAPT2 this? The ADAPT2 Principle.Because Happiness Requires a Clean Mind
