Overview

Childhood is traditionally seen as a carefree time but research suggests that some young people are prone to worry, stress and anxiety-related disorders. Helping Children Cope with Anxiety looks at how the pressures or twenty-first-century living can affect children up to the age of 16, and what parents can do to help. The subjects covered include: the roots of anxiety, toddler fears, schoolchildren's anxieties such as school phobia, bullying and family crisis, helping your child develop skills to counter worry, the anxious teenager, mental health problems that may need treatment, where to go for further help and support. Today's children can sometimes be overprotected or overexposed to the modern world - this book helps parents to strike the right balance while encouraging their children to grow up with confidence.
