Did you know that the seeds of anxiety—the most common emotional disorder in the United States—are sown in childhood? Or that anxiety in children can cause sleep disturbance and stomach upset, school avoidance, learning problems, social relationship problems and many other difficulties?
Drawing on over 30 years of professional practice and personal anxiety experiences that go back to his own childhood, Dr. Foxman has written a clear, well-documented and heartfelt book for adults who want to help. Part I discusses normal anxiety, anxiety disorders and the personality traits of anxious children. Part II addresses the role of parents, schools and society in contributing to children’s anxiety. Additional chapters discuss the impact of terrorism, war and the media. Part III gives sources of help: psychotherapy, medication, self-help and alternative and complementary therapies.
You will learn:
• Why (and how) anxiety begins in childhood
• How anxiety manifests itself at different ages
• How to increase bonding and security, and thus reduce children’s anxiety
• How to communicate effectively and discipline children without creating anxiety
• How to manage the impact of TV and movies, the Internet and video games
• The best ways to discuss drugs, alcohol and sexuality with your children
• How to reduce the negative effects of divorce on children
This book has answers to your questions, including concrete suggestions and guidance for parents. An appendix provides ideas for teachers and school administrators, and a special chapter for young people discusses how they can help themselves. “The Worried Child” was named a Nautilus Book Award Finalist and has sold more than 40,000 copies to date.
