"If you have a child with anxiety, you need quick, in-the-moment solutions you can easily use now to help your child face their fears and worries. Written by a psychologist and expert in childhood anxiety, this easy-to-use guide offers proven-effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure skills you can use at home, in social settings, or anywhere anxiety takes hold. You love your child, and it hurts to see them afraid or constantly worried. How can you manage your child's anxiety during those trying moments when you just need to get from A to B without losing your sanity? Evidence-based CBT and exposure therapy - two of the most effective treatments for anxiety disorders. Includes a background and explanation of the different types of anxiety disorders, in case you aren't sure whether or not your child has one. You'll also learn to identify your child's avoidant and safety behaviors - the strategies your child uses to cope with their anxiety, such as repeatedly checking their homework or asking the same questions repeatedly - as well as anxiety triggers that set your child off. Bridget Walker, PhD, is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley. Walker received a PhD from the California School of Professional Psychology."--Provided by publisher.
