How can you know when stress has crossed over into a full blown anxiety disorder? How can you prevent anxiety fr The best and most helpful book I have ever encountered on anxiety I have 10 years' experience counseling children and adolescents but this book helped me to understand the thoughts and feelings of the anxious child in a whole new light Even though I have a graduate degree in clinical psychology It can be very hard for parents and other adults to relate to anxious children because they don't understand how gripping the negative feelings are or the cognitive processes behind the anxiety that make it so hard to break This book helps de mystify the whys behind anxiety both psychologically and biologically It also offers extremely practical solutions for dealing with anxiety basically some cognitive behavioral therapy techniues that the lay person can do within the context of a family or close relationship with the childWe purchased this book when my daughter had an anxiety relapse and couldn't get in to see her former psychologist for several months The book provided some strategies we could implement to deescalate the negative emotions she was having It offered her immense relief without a lot of effort on our part This book doesn't replace a trained therapist but I think every parent struggling with an anxious child should read this book before starting therapy at least the information chapters Understanding the child's anxiety is the first step toward helping him conuer it and this book does an incredible job of explaining to the concerned adult in his lifeI have struggled myself with anxiety and I felt that this book really helped me pinpoint my own erroneous thought processes and pointed me in the direction of healthier thinking The strategies listed are really just cognitive behavioral therapy using kid friendly language However even adults can benefit from reading this book The same strategies work for adults with or without the cutesy phrases up to youThe only negative comment I have is that the book is SO informative and dense I felt like I needed to sit and read some passages 2 3 times in silence and with a highlighter to truly capture everything being said This is not something I really have much occasion to do in my life as a busy mom of three but I tried to devote as much time as I could to do the book due to the severity of the situation with our daughter This is not really a knock on the book just plan on having some uiet and concentration before you can get the most out of itCAN'T RECOMMEND ENOUGH for someone who loves or works with a child suffering from anxiety
