"Oh I Thought I Was The Only One 2" is my attempt to lend a helping hand to those kids. Filled with example stories, tips and amusing illustrations to let them know that they are not the only ones going through these stressors in daily life. When you are scared and worried it often leads to feelings of loneliness.This book invites you to explore different ways in which you can learn how to manage you stress.

Most of us are uncomfortable telling people about what scares us, or what we are worried about. Even if we wanted to share, sometimes it has been kept in us for so long we don't know where to begin. This book can be used to provide a start for you to tell someone "I have something that I am worried about. Can I talk to you?" There is also a special section of tips and suggestions for your parents or adult caregiver on how to help you..Note to ParentsUse this book as a tool to open the doors of communication with your child. Preteen and teen years can be the most turbulent for the both of you. Do not wait for a crisis. My hope is that through this book you can learn to navigate into your child's life and forge a stronger communication and bondThis book is structured into sections, each dealing with a different issue in a child's life. The sections are called Petals, just like the petals on the cherry blossom, as a metaphor for the exquisitely beautiful and ephemeral nature of life.
