Book Description
When our children are born, we do everything we can to make sure they have love, food, clothing, and shelter. We read to them, play with them, and comfort them when they cry. But despite all this, one in five children today suffers from a diagnosed anxiety disorder, and countless others suffer from anxiety that interferes with critical social, academic, and physical development. The author, childhood anxiety expert, is here to help. In this book she helps parents identify and understand anxiety in their children, outlines effective and convenient parenting techniques for reducing anxiety, and shows parents how to promote bravery for long-term confidence. Perhaps your young child has trouble sleeping or separation anxiety, or your teen suffers from social anxiety or panic attacks, whatever the issue, this book can help. Using methods based on cognitive behavioral therapy, you will learn to identify your child's fear and anxiety on the spectrum from normal and predictable to what might be cause for concern, to promote a secure attachment with your child in only five minutes a day, tools to foster coping skills in the face of anxiety producing situations, strategies for reinforcing problem-solving behavior, adaptive parenting styles, and much more. The author includes stories from her practice of children, from preschoolers to teens, who have overcome their fear and anxiety through her step-by-step approach, as well as information on therapy and medication.

20 Things You Should Teach Your Child Before It's Too Late

Author: C W Dip
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 26

Book Description
In this book, we will examine ideas and skills that I recommend you teach your children as they grow up. These concepts are not just for newborns or toddlers, but rather span throughout a child's life all the way up to high school years. Further, this book goes beyond basics manners or what children should already learn in school. For example, this book will not outline how to teach your kids how to say please and thank you or how to do basic math. If you are reading this book, you are probably a concerned enough parent to relay that information to your children already. Rather, this book will look at unique, often forgotten concepts that, armed with the knowledge, can help your children growing up. After identifying what they should learn, we will identify why it is important and how you can begin teaching them.
