Synopsis

Anxiety disorders are much more common in children than most people think. Indeed, anxiety disorders are the number one psychological problem for children, and this book makes widely accepted techniques readily available to every parent and child. Latest research shows that anxiety disorders can be seen in utero and can be detected by the child's heartbeat. It is important to detect these conditions early and to treat them within the first year of life. Sadly, only a small fraction of these children are treated. There is therapy available: this however is exactly what happens in therapy but a lot more fun! In just ten minutes a day parents can guide their children through activities that will significantly lessen their symptoms and prevent anxiety from becoming a life-long problem.Tim Sisemore, Ph. D. has 20 years of clinical experience and has recently focused all his work on children with anxiety. In this book he draws on proven strategies for dealing with childhood anxiety and utilizes them to develop pleasant and compelling activities that teach children how to defeat anxiety. This text even covers the possibility that parents may suffer from an anxiety disorder - these activities will also help them.
