What a terrific book!,

This review is from: Helping Your Anxious Child (Paperback)
My teenager suffers from PTSD - his anxiety is so sky high that he was rarely going to school. After a years worth of visits to psychiatrists and medication which was not working, I purchased this book and put it in action the week it arrived. My son had not made it to school on a Monday or Tuesday since the school year began - after one session of "realistic thinking" on Sunday nite - he went to school Monday! He was then able to go all week - even to midterm exams! On the following Sunday nite his anxiety began again and we started another round of realistic thinking - he made it to school. You must try this book - it is excellent!

simple and practical strategies,
By "mumfromaus" (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Helping Your Anxious Child (Paperback)
My 9 year old has always been the worry wart of the family, always needed to ask if it will be ok and could see all the possible disasters that could ever take place. Reading this book gave me practical strategies I could use with him when he was avoiding new situations and for those before school tummy aches. It was great to read through the descriptions of other anxious children and think that's exactly what he is like. A real bonus was his reaction to these descriptions - it was the first time he realised that other kids out there worry just as much as he does. The book helps you to teach your child how they can handle worries and fears when they do occur - it's more about managing worry than getting them to ignore the worry. It also helps you to understand how you can change you reactions to help your child. It was a lot of work to really tackle all of his worries but the reading was easy to do and each section isn't too long so you can read one in a lunch break if you need to. If you need ideas on how to help your child with fears and worries this will be a great start.

Very Informative and Helpful.,
By Picky Reader "tweetypez" (Irish Catholic Lady, Wife, Mom, and Part-time Library Clerk in Syracuse, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Helping Your Anxious Child (Paperback)
The chapters were laid out sensibly with straightforward chapter objectives and reviews. The suggestions to help your child were explained clearly, not with psycho babble, and they were practical. It explains why your child might be feeling anxious. The link between thoughts,feelings, and anxiety. How your child can manipulate his or her thoughts to become more realistic and reduce their anxiety. Relaxation techniques. Suggestions on how you as a parent can help your child manage his/her anxiety. How to help your child with a plan to empower him/her.I found it very helpful to read this book at a time when I was feeling helpless as a mother. They always say parenthood does not come with a manual, but if you face an anxiety problem with your child, this book is the closest thing to a manual I have found. The steps do work. It does get better. Good luck.
