Publisher's summary

Worry is contagious . . . but you can stop its spread.

Anxiety has an amazing ability to spread. Time and time again, when veteran counselor and parenting expert Sissy Goff has an anxious child or teen in her office, she's found they have at least one very well-intentioned but anxious parent. Anxiety is contagious, and it's likely affecting your kids, distracting you in the present, and making you feel like it will define your family's future.

It doesn't have to be this way. With over thirty years of experience helping both children and adults, Sissy offers you practical, well-researched tools that will make a difference in your life—and the lives of your children. Learn how to uncover the roots of your own anxiety; process anxiety in healthy ways rather than passing it on; model bravery; and discover a place of deeper, freer connection to your kids.

Here is the help you need to experience freedom from anxiety, raise confident, courageous kids, and become a worry-free family in an increasingly anxious world.

Sissy’s heart for restoration and wisdom in this area comes through in this book

There’s a lot of good stuff in this book to ponder over for several months. I would highly recommend the workbook to go along with it. I think it’s encouraging and challenging. Ultimately it provides hope.

Best Parenting Book EVER!!

This book is a perfect reminder of how God designed us to parent! It is scripture based and Sissy’s calm and encouraging voice is such a relief and wonderful reminder that us type A (contentious and controlling) parents not only can but SHOULD let go and trust that God’s is taking care of our kids and wants us to ENJOY this time with our little people he chose us to parent! I have a long way to go and lot of prayer to do but I know this book will change my life and my kids lives for the better! I’m sure I will continue to listen this audiobook again and again for reminders of the truth and for encouragement. Thank you, Sissy!!

So comforting and informative

Sissy’s reading was like sitting in the room with her. Her voice emotes so much compassion and empathy. Excellent book with so much insight on how to combat anxiety as a parent and as a human being. If I could give this book 100 stars, I would. Highly recommend.

So helpful

I loved this book. It was grace filled. It had a lot of science that was helpful in understanding how the brain works and also had so many tangible steps to start working through anxiety. I would highly recommend.

Brain science sprinkled with scripture

Great recap of some of the latest brain science and cognition behavior techniques for anyone struggling with anxiety sprinkled with bible/scripture.

So Much To Learn, Listening Again

Wow! I highly recommend this book! There were so many times I had to stop, go back, and relisten because the content was so thought provoking. I brought this book up during my small group, “Drop the bottom 20!” A few of the ladies wrote down the name and author. There are so many things I learned about myself, how I was raised, how I’m raising my kids, and things I want to change. I’m ordering the workbook, so when I listen again, I can begin the process of making changes in myself and how I parent. I especially enjoyed that the author is the narrator. Thank you Sissy!

Wonderful book!

Listening to this book as a parent of young children was like sitting in a much-needed counseling session, lol— I gleaned so much wisdom and insight, and I know I will come back to it again. Will be recommending to all my friends with kids!!

Every parent can benefit from this!

I really believe it. Whether you are religious or not, identify as “anxious” or not, this book was so full of wisdom. I started reading it to prepare to lead a parent discussion group, but quickly bumped into some habits and patterns in my own parenting that merited my attention and correction.

And yet, it’s not a blame and shame parenting book. It’s a testament to Sissy Goff’s experience and expertise that it is so full of grace that spurs parents on to meaningful action.
