Provides parents with practical steps and a seven-step method for helping children manage anxiety and worry and cope with such problems as phobias, tics, and selective mutism. - Book News
Child psychologist Kathleen Trainor (Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School) gives advice to parents and caregivers of extremely anxious children and teenagers, including those with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, separation anxiety, phobias, and PTSD. Her seven-step method offers techniques drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy, involving steps for identifying and rating behaviors, offering incentives for change, and charting progress. Techniques for dealing with problems such as selective mutism, tics, and phobias are demonstrated with detailed cases based on real children and families. While the book is written for parents, it may also be useful to mental health professionals and others who work with children.

Practical, effective steps for parents to take as they help their child overcome anxiety.
Ten million children in the United Statesâtwo million of them preschoolersâsuffer from anxiety. Anxious children may be afraid to be out of their parentsâ sight; they may refuse to talk except to specific people or under specific circumstances; they may insist on performing tasks such as brushing teeth or getting ready for bed in a rigidly specific way. For many children these difficulties interfere with doing well in school and making friends as well as with daily activities like sleeping, eating, and bathing. Untreated anxiety can have a devastating effect on a childâs future emotional, social, academic, and work life. And since most kids donât naturally outgrow anxiety, parents need to know how to help.
In Calming Your Anxious Child, Dr. Kathleen Trainor builds on cognitive behavioral therapy to provide practical steps for guiding parents through the process of helping their children manage their anxieties and gain control over their worry-based behaviors. Dr. Trainorâs method involves identifying the anxieties and the behaviors, rating them, agreeing on what behaviors to work on changing, identifying strategies for changing behaviors, noting and charting progress, offering incentives, and reinforcing progress.
Combining family stories with practical advice and support, Calming Your Anxious Child teaches parents and caregivers how to empower their children to overcome their worried thoughts and behaviors. Children who have generalized anxiety, OCD, social anxiety, separation anxiety, phobias, or PTSD can all benefit from Dr. Trainorâs method, which also helps parents move from feeling controlled by their childâs anxiety to feeling that they are in control of their familyâs future.
