With anxiety at epidemic levels among our children,
Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents offers a contrarian yet
effective approach to help children and teens push through
their fears, worries, and phobias to ultimately become more
resilient, independent, and happy.
How do you manage
a child who gets stomachaches every school morning, who
refuses after-school activities, or who is trapped in the
bathroom with compulsive washing? Children like these put a
palpable strain on frustrated, helpless parents and
teachers. And there is no escaping the problem: One in every
five kids suffers from a diagnosable anxiety disorder.
Unfortunately, when parents or professionals offer help
in traditional ways, they unknowingly reinforce a child's
worry and avoidance. From their success with hundreds of
organizations, schools, and families, Reid Wilson, PhD, and
Lynn Lyons, LICSW, share their unconventional approach of
stepping into uncertainty in a way that is currently
unfamiliar but infinitely successful. Using current research
and contemporary examples, the book exposes the most common
anxiety-enhancing patterns—including reassurance,
accommodation, avoidance, and poor problem solving—and
offers a concrete plan with 7 key principles that foster
change. And, since new research reveals how anxious parents
typically make for anxious children, the book offers
exercises and techniques to change both the children's
and the parental patterns of thinking and
behaving. This book challenges our basic instincts
about how to help fearful kids and will serve as the
antidote for an anxious nation of kids and their parents.
