About the Book

Your amygdala keeps you safe, but what about when it gets things wrong? This amusing training guide helps children learn to calm their amygdala and control their fight-flight-freeze impulses.

The amygdala is the brain's alarm system that alerts for danger, but sometimes it gets things wrong and needs help calming down. In this picture book, young readers receive kid-friendly information about the amygdala from the amygdala, how it can sometimes get confused, and simple ideas to calm and train it.

The amygdala in How to Train Your Amygdala makes complicated concepts accessible to children so they can understand their bodies, practice impulse control, and boost their self-regulation. Throughout the book, the amygdala and the reader practice anxiety-calming and mindfulness strategies such as deep breathing, visualization, and progressive relaxation. With anxiety on the rise among children, learning how to calm the amygdala is a critical life skill.

Additional content at the back of the book includes an amygdala's training playbook for kids and more information for adults to help reinforce the book's message.
About the Author: Currently an early childhood education consultant and mental health clinician, Anna Housley Juster began her career as a Head Start teacher and has over two decades of experience supporting children and families across a variety of contexts, including formal and informal education, children's museums, children's media, and clinical mental health settings. For many years, she served as the director of content for the preschool television series Sesame Street, working on the series and across the brand, including publishing, product development, and interactive technologies. She is also a firm believer in the power of play to heal across the life span. Anna lives near Boston, Massachusetts.

Cynthia Cliff is a self-taught artist and author who grew up in a tiny historic village in rural Virginia surrounded by her large superstitious family, and farms and woodlands where she spent every waking hour. This upbringing provided her with a deep love and appreciation for history, family, nature, and folklore--themes that find their way into much of her whimsical, folk-art inspired, and optimistic artwork. She resides in northern Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C., with her partner and four-legged family.
