Audiobooks for Coping With Back-to-School Anxiety

By Penguin Random House Audio

As parents and caregivers of school-age kids know, back-to-school anxiety can be intense, and can add to family stress during one of the busiest times of the year. Since recommendations for anxiety management can vary by age group and concern, we’ve included a broad variety of topics in the round-up below, from calming activites for very young children (the Mindfulness Moments for Kids series) to guides on helping older kids and teens navigate anxiety, overwhelm, academic stressors, mental health struggles, and even smart phones.

You are never too young—or too old—to learn how to “breathe like a bear,” and we hope these audiobooks help you and your family start the school year off with an (empowering) roar.
