Does your child lie awake at night, trapped in "what if" spirals? Melt down over things that seem small — but feel enormous to them? Erase their homework five times and whisper "I'm stupid"?
You've tried explaining. Reassuring. Maybe even a workbook or two — half-finished, forgotten, quietly collecting dust.
You're not failing. And neither is your child. They just have monsters — and now they have a manual.
Inside, your child will: Recognize anxiety, "what-if" thinking, and emotional storms — and finally understand why they happen, so they stop feeling broken Pick up real CBT & DBT coping skills disguised as spells and rituals — the kind children actually remember at 2am, when the worry monster wakes them up Build emotional regulation through story, magic, and becoming the hero of their own journey — built for kids who resist worksheets, especially children with ADHD & big feelings 50 pages by design — short enough to finish. Structured so they want more QR code inside: printable worksheets, coloring pages + a letter for parents
What if your worries had a name — and a face?
Meet Whatifon. Crash-o-Drilla. Perfectopus. They live inside your mind, feed on your feelings, and grow bigger every time you try to ignore them. But here's the secret: they are not the enemy.
When Arlin can't sleep the night before her eighth birthday, she finds a tiny blue creature on her pillow — biting its nails and whispering in her own voice. That's how her life as a Monster Keeper begins. As she learns what makes each monster shrink, she uncovers something far more dangerous: Mr. Nullmor — a man who believes feelings should be locked away. To protect what she's learned, Arlin splits her manual into seven secret parts. This is Part One. And someone else is already hunting the rest.
Written for children who feel too much, think too much, worry too much — and have been told this is a problem. It is not a problem. It is a superpower that just needs a name.
This is not a workbook. A story-based feelings book for kids, with anxiety relief disguised as magic.
For parents, too. Read it together — the conversation afterward is the real tool.
For therapists, counselors & teachers: a ready-made session and classroom tool — each monster opens a conversation kids actually want to have.
Based on CBT, DBT, Gestalt therapy, and mindfulness. Written by a crisis psychologist, Gestalt therapist, certified educator, and mother of two — one of whom has ADHD.
Book 1 of 7 in the first-of-its-kind SEL series: Worry · Anger · Fear · Sadness · Shame · Envy · Loneliness.

Every child's story starts the same way — with worry.
Give them the manual before the monsters grow.
