Circus clowns perform tricks and make us laugh. They wear bright colors, big shoes, and all kinds of wigs and colorful hats.

This interactive self-help book is the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering children to overcome social anxiety-so they can join in the circus of fun and friends! This book is part of the What-to-Do Guides for Kids series and includes an amp ldquo Introduction to Parents and Caregivers. amp quot What-to-Guides for Kids are interactive self-help books designed to guide amp ndash 2 year olds, and their parents, through the cognitive-behavioral techniques most often used in the treatment of various psychological concerns.
