My Anxiety is Messing Things Up (Navigating Friendships) Book Review

November 13, 2025November 11, 2025 Erin Sluka

Book Title: My Anxiety is Messing Things Up (Navigating Friendships)

Oscar’s drive to succeed earns him praise in the classroom and on the field — but also leaves him wracked with anxiety. Unable to sleep and increasingly irritable, Oscar lashes out at his friends. When a teacher invites him to a school support group, Oscar must decide if he’s willing to seek help and try new strategies for relief.

Th pressures kids face are real and some handle those pressures differently than others. We all experience anxieties, simply because we are human. To some, anxiety can be a big feeling and learning to manage it can be difficult. Tools like books can help us guide our children on how to navigate their feelings – big and small.

From the Author: Jennifer Licate (Elementary and Secondary School Counseling background)

“I wrote the book to help children understand anxiety,” said Licate. “Not all symptoms look the same, and not all strategies will work for everyone. My hope is that kids learn there are multiple tools they can try to feel more confident and less overwhelmed.”

Recently, my teen became interested in exploring the bible. I was raised Catholic and I raise mu children as Christians. But, I was never consistent with the youngest on Church and the bible.
