A proven approach to helping children build emotional resilience for a happier and healthier life
Childhood should be a happy and carefree time, yet too many children and teens are stressed-out and exhibiting symptoms of anxiety. Parents everywhere want to know: How can you recognize when stress has crossed over into a full-blown anxiety disorder? How can you prevent anxiety from taking root? And how do you help your child break patterns of fear, worry, and avoidance and lead a happy, productive life? Fortunately, anxiety is very treatable, and parents can do a lot to help get their children’s emotional well-being back on track.
In Freeing Your Child from Anxiety, childhood anxiety expert Dr. Tamar Chansky shares easy, fun, and effective tools for teaching children and teens to outsmart their worries and take charge of their fears. You’ll find scripts for explaining anxiety to children of different ages, creative strategies for navigating common phobias, and “Do It Today” activities that help them implement the book’s advice right away. This revised and updated edition also prepares children to buffer themselves from the pressures of our competitive, test-driven culture and build resiliency skills.
These simple solutions can help parents protect their children from needless suffering—and ensure they have the tools to thrive today and for a lifetime.
