Synopsis

If you have a child with anxiety, you need quick, in-the-moment solutions you can easily use now to help your child face their fears and worries. Written by a psychologist and expert in childhood anxiety, this guide offers proven-effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure skills you can use at home, in social settings, or anywhere anxiety takes hold.

Anxiety Relief for Kids provides quick solutions based in evidence-based CBT and exposure therapy—two of the most effective treatments for anxiety disorders. You'll find a background and explanation of the different types of anxiety disorders, in case you aren't sure whether or not your child has one. You'll also learn to identify your child's avoidant and safety behaviors, as well as anxiety triggers that set your child off.

With this book, you'll find a wealth of information regarding your child's specific anxiety disorder and how to respond to it. No matter your child's specific symptoms or diagnosis, you'll discover tailored interventions you can use now to help your child thrive.

If your child has an anxiety disorder, simple, everyday activities can be a real challenge. The practical solutions in this book will help you deal with your child's anxiety when it happens and restore balance and order to both your lives.

Goodreads review by Molly on May 15, 2021

The trauma, stress, and disruption of Covid-19 led to some anxious behavior in my kid (which feels pretty common from what I'm hearing), mostly avoidance of doing things I know she loves to do.
