Synopsis

Most parents find it frustrating when common sense and logical methods such as reassurance don't seem to work to allay their teen's anxiety. They want to know: Why is anxiety so hard to get rid of once it takes hold? Why aren't my efforts to help working? And how can I best help my teen break free from anxiety to become happy and resilient?

This powerful book, based on cutting-edge research and cognitive behavioral strategies, will help you develop the know-how to effectively manage teen anxiety. You'll learn the best ways to support your teen in overcoming problematic thinking and fears, discover what behaviors and coping strategies unwittingly make anxiety worse, and understand how anxiety is best defeated with surprisingly counterintuitive methods. Step-by-step guidance, along with numerous real-life examples and exercises, will help you to:

● Sensitively redirect your teen's worries when they intensify

● Reduce social anxiety, perfectionism, and panic attacks

● Proactively address common triggers of stress and anxiety

● Implement a proven approach for decreasing avoidance and facing fears

Goodreads review by Way-Way

Does any parent ever read a parent book and think, “nah, I don’t need this; I’m nailing this parenting then!”  Yeah, me either.  Being a teen is hard – way harder than when we were kids growing up in the 80’s and 90’s – and it is estimated that 1 in 3 teens are dealing with anxiety or an anxiety dis......more

Goodreads review by Aud

This book had some helpful suggestions and helped me understand my 3 sons' anxieties more. It seemed a bit repetitive, but I wish I had know earlier some signs to look for and how bad anxieties could get. We did get professional help with my oldest when he was 12 and are still getting him help, but......more

Goodreads review by Danica

Somewhat helpful. It ends up that I was already implementing a lot of the strategies the author mentions, to no avail. What if your teen is also very stubborn? Or the anxiety causes behavior problems? I thought the book was pretty dry and repetitive. The real-life life examples seemed a little too s......more
