The recommended treatment approach for anxiety is overwhelmingly Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). CBT helps children learn to handle their fears and worries by modifying the ways they think and behave. Techniques included in CBT are relaxation, positive self-talk, and coping behaviors. The Bridge Over Worried Waters game is essentially a CBT program in a box that incorporates ALL of these techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo start the game, players place a Worried Waters raging river sheet in front of them. Players then choose a PROBLEM card that describes an anxiety-producing situation.
