Publisher's summary

Most children are afraid of the dark. Some fear monsters under the bed. But 10 percent of children have excessive fears and worries - phobias, separation anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder - that can hold them back and keep them from fully enjoying childhood. If your child suffers from any of these forms of anxiety, the program in this book offers practical, scientifically proven tools that can help.

Now in its second edition, Helping Your Anxious Child has been expanded and updated to include the latest research and techniques for managing child anxiety. You'll learn how to help your child overcome intense fears and worries and find out how to relieve anxious feelings while parenting with compassion.

Repetitive but great strategies

The title doesn't imply this but it's half about teaching kids social skills - super helpful!!!!

Your description of the anxious child is off

The description you are using of an anxious child goes far beyond anxiety! Your Description is of a child with PANS/PANDAS/AE! There are medical treatments Available to these children. What you are describing are children with brain inflammation not simply just anxiety.

Don't get the audio book on this one

Usually, self-help books such as this one have pdf downloads to help the listener practice the skills. I was very disappointed to see that the only pdf documents for this book are a cover page and certificate of completion which are both completely useless. A worksheet to practice the skills discussed would have been so much more useful.

As an avid podcast and audiobook listener, I could only handle this book about 30 minutes at time. The delivery is dry making it a challenging listen. If my child's counselor had not recommended my reading the book I would have quit in the first two chapters.
