Product Description
From Library Journal
Coping with children's fears has long been a challenge to parents, and the authors deal directly and practically with the subject. Following opening chapters on understanding and identifying a child's fear and some overall guidelines on teaching basic relaxation techniques, the authors introduce their basic plan for overcoming fear through imagination, information, observation, and exposure. Subsequent chapters apply these four techniques to specific fears, including fear of separation, animals, storms, and transportation, as well as fear of school, medicine, and death. Chapters are very specific in suggestions for helping children, and include lists of children's books, suggestions for "positive self-talk," and more. Finally, the authors offer guidelines for seeking further help if the fear does not subside. Recommended for parenting collections.

It Really Helped!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Monsters Under the Bed and Other Childhood Fears: Helping Your Child Overcome Anxieties, Fears, and Phobias (Hardcover)
This book was a great help. The ideas are practical and easy to understand and follow. The author is sympathetic to both parents and children. He doesn't place blame, just tells how to get over the problem. Separating different fears into their own chapters made it especially easy to find what I was looking for.

Great help for my daughter's fear,

This review is from: Monsters Under the Bed and Other Childhood Fears: Helping Your Child Overcome Anxieties, Fears, and Phobias (Hardcover)
I have a five year old daughter, who was having problems with school. After getting this book and reviewing several different chapters, I was able to address my daughter's fear of certain school issues. I was trying to help her with her issues, by with what she told me was going on. But after this book, I was able to understand her issues more and helped her more. Now she isn't scared to go to class in the mornings or to change classes. She smiles, says she loves me and good-bye and enjoys class all day. I feel comfortable now, that she is not scared and likes school.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Very generalized,
By Benjamin A. Brin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Monsters Under the Bed and Other Childhood Fears: Helping Your Child Overcome Anxieties, Fears, and Phobias (Hardcover)
I bought this book to help deal with my 6 year old's nightmares. There wasn't really anything about that in the book. I thought the name implied the book would mostly be about bedtime fears but really it is a generalized book about 30 or so fears a child may have so it really didn't help me at all. There doesn't seem to be depth of analysis of any of the fears and I can't imagine the book would be useful to many people.I don't necessarily think this is a "bad book", I just didn't find it helpful for me and don't see it really being helpful to most people, but if you just want a book with a little bit about a lot of fears, this would be a very good book for you. |
