Misty Twisty Knot is a fictional character but her experiences are those of many who live with anxiety on a daily basis and unfortunately these individuals include our children. With the stress of the Covid-19 pandemic, increasing inflation, school closures and re-openings, increased community violence/civil unrest, substance dependence which has resorted in an increase in children being displaced from their parents and who are now residing in foster or relative placements as their parents are unable to care for them due to abandonment, abuse and/or neglect, we have seen an increase in children experiencing symptoms of anxiety as well as, other mental health disorders. Our current state of prolonged stress has affected families of all wage classes. Unfortunately, there continues to be a rise in children who experience anxiety. In 2020, 9.2%. of children were diagnosed with anxiety and therefore teaching children and adults about the importance of emotional IQ (identifying and understanding emotions and how to respond ) and the part that emotions play in their overall wellness is more important than ever.
As Misty Twisty Knot learns to manage her anxiety her life returns to normal. With education
and implementation of the basic skills presented in this book children can be introduced to the
same strategies learned by Misty Twisty Knot.
This book is for educational purposes solely and is developmentally appropriate for grades 4
through 12. This book is also recommended anyone who desires to develop a broader
understanding of how anxiety presents itself and impacts us daily.
For my colleagues in the fields of therapy and counseling, utilize the character Misty Twisty
Knot and content as a diagnostic or assessment tool in group or individual therapy or
counseling sessions. All content in the Misty Twisty Knot book series is adaptable for the faith based audience.
