Help for Worried Kids
How Your Child Can Conquer Anxiety and Fear
|
|
by Cynthia G. Last
Most childhood fears are nothing to worry about. But panic attacks, phobias,
and persistent anxiety can darken a child’s
horizons and lead to disrupted sleep, lower grades, and missed opportunities
to make friends and explore the world. Dr. Cynthia G. Last helps parents
determine when a child’s apprehension is cause for
concern. Drawing on 25 years of clinical practice and research, she vividly
illustrates the different forms that childhood anxiety can take and offers
practical solutions specific to each. For example, Dr. Last shows how to
schedule "worry time to ease generalized anxiety, and explains why
reassurance is often counterproductive for kids
with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The book emphasizes strategies for
preventing episodes before they begin, demonstrates how to intervene when
one is in progress, and offers tips on how to keep anxiety from worsening as
a child matures. Readers will learn to be consistent and encouraging as
their child develops the confidence needed to face--and conquer--worries of
every kind.
