PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AS OVERCOMING YOUR CHILD'S FEARS AND WORRIES

Does your child suffer from fears and worries that affect their behaviour or keep them awake at night?

Fears and worries are very common among children with around 15% thought to suffer from anxiety disorders; the most commonly identified emotional or behavioural problems among children. However, if left unchecked, they can cause more serious problems such as school avoidance, difficulties in making friends and long-term problems with anxiety and depression.

Written by two of the UK's foremost experts on childhood anxiety, this extremely useful guide will enable you to understand what is causing your child's worries and to carry out step-by-step practical strategies to help him or her to overcome them, including:

· Addressing specific fears and phobias as well as general anxiety and 'worrying'
· Using case studies, worksheets and charts

Helping Your Child is a series for parents and caregivers to support children through developmental difficulties, both psychological and physical. Each guide uses clinically-proven techniques.

Self help guide for parents and children

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2022

A bit of a background - my daughter (10) is having a hard time with social anxiety. We are waiting for an appointment with CAMHS (Child Adolescence Mental Health Service) but the wait times are about a year. In the meantime she is struggling to go to school and has withdrawn from social activities with peers including quitting all her after school activities. She seems so unhappy and as a parent this is hard to watch (it's heart-breaking!). We are lucky that the school she attends have been incredibly supportive and have put in place support systems while she is at school. But none of this is helping her overcome her anxiety. We believe its as a result of COVID lockdown but who knows! I have been attending a course run through our local council to give parents the tools to help their kids. This book was recommended on day 1 of the course, I have found it more useful than the course. The book explains anxiety and then gives you a step by step guide on how to help your child. There’s 5 steps to the process and it involves getting your child to face their fears (very gradually). It involves setting goals. As your child achieves their goals they learn new things about the situations that causes them anxiety. It teaches you how to speak to them when they are feeling anxious. We have only been following this book for a few weeks - I haven’t made it all the way through, so far I have just been changing how I react to my daughters anxiety. We have set goals but not the steps needed to achieve them. I have already seen a change in my daughter, she still has plenty of anxiety driven moments but I’m better able to guide her through them. I wish I had read this book years ago as I believe that it would benefit anyone who has a child, not just parents with an anxious child. If you are reading this review and are at breaking point, like we were, I totally sympathise with you, anxiety is hard, really hard. Give this a go, what do you have to lose?

Very helpful - highly recommended

An NHS therapist recommended this book when my son was being treated for a severe phobia. It is a cognitive behavioral therapy book but written in plain Engliah with step by step practical guides to help your child overcome their difficulties. It is suitable for all types of anxiety/worry and children of all ages.
I would recommend it to all parents as it is full of sensible, practical advice ( and after all most children go through worries or fears of some kind at some point). It is completely non-judgmental, very supportive and gives you the practical help you really need when you or your child are going through a difficult patch and you aren't sure how to handle it.

Incredibly Insightful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 May 2022

Verified Purchase

I was asked to purchase this ahead of an anxiety workshop for my child. I have only read the first two parts so far (as directed) and I have to say, I’m impressed. No one likes to think that maybe they’re doing something wrong when it comes to parenting, but honestly, this is such a good read and incredibly insightful. It turns out that we may now be going down a different avenue now with the outreach services, but I shall continue to read this book regardless. If your child has worries or anxieties that are more frequent than the ‘norm’ I really recommend this.

This book is very helpful in giving an insight as to what is going on with your anxious child. How it manifests and how you can achieve some success with management of it. I ordered this book as part of a course of treatment for separation anxiety, social anxiety and generalised anxiety with camhs for my child. It was very helpful

Back to basic with a great plan

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2020

I feel this book could have been written for and about me and my daughter, lots of good tips, goals and starter points, just what we needed when we thought there was no where to go. I would recommend this book to anyone having a tough time with anxiety involving their kids. It stripped it back to basics and working through with good plans.

Recommended to me by a mental health worker, who my child has been referred to. Good book as you can follow it as a course. It has activities inside and you can work on it with your child. Feels supportive and gives you a clear approach to take to support your child.
