About the Author

Dr. Diane Benoit and Dr. Suneeta Monga are child psychiatrists at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Kids and the University of Toronto. They work with young children to overcome their anxieties while giving their parents the resources to help. Dr. Benoit's and Dr. Monga's work in developing the Taming Sneaky Fears treatment program inspired them to write the children's story and companion workbook, Taming Sneaky Fears. They recognized the lack of current, user-friendly resources and so collaborated to provide instructions on how to cope with anxiety. With more than a decade of feedback from children, parents, and therapists, they refined Leo's story and ensured the activities presented in the workbook can be put into practice by young children.
