My daughter’s in her first year of tech college. She’s working toward an associate’s degree, and so far it’s been an interesting experience for her. Since she was homeschooled from the time she was little, this is her first year of regularly attending classes.

It can be scary to go out into the world as a young adult. But it’s twice as hard if you’re the anxious type.
Are any of your kids worrywarts? How do you help your kids handle nervous feelings or worries? Leave your answer as a comment on this post by Friday, March 26, and you’ll be automatically entered into a drawing for a hardback copy of How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie.
Carnegie was the best-selling author of last week’s giveaway book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. In How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, he uses the true stories of people of the past, including presidents Abraham Lincoln and Dwight D. Eisenhower, to teach readers how to get out of the habit of worrying. Originally published in 1944, this book is still in print.
Stay tuned for more giveaways!
