Do fears, excessive worries, panic attacks, separation anxiety and difficulty falling asleep prevent your child from living what should be their best and most carefree years? Is your child's anger and pain slowly creating internal negativity and threatening harmony in your family? Have previous strategies you have used proved to be inadequate, leading you to feel that you have somehow failed? For some, childhood is a stressful journey, and facing new challenges and difficult moments do not always prove to be easy to manage, especially as children do not all react in the same way. It is normal for children to feel worried or anxious from time to time, especially when starting a new school or kindergarten or moving to a new home. It is, however, a problem when anxiety affects a child's thought processes and behaviour on a daily basis, interfering negatively with their school, domestic and social life. Many parents enter 'protection mode' trying to solve their children's problems, helping them to avoid the triggers of anxiety and/or trying to foster a lifestyle without worries. This technique, however, may not be enough. Parents can do a lot to help recover and maintain the emotional well-being of their children following a traumatic or stressful event, and timely intervention supported by expertise in the subject is the best way of going about things. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THIS BOOK IF, IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS, YOUR CHILD HAS DISPLAYED ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: Agitation. Restlessness.
Inattention, poor concentration. Attitudes of avoidance. Erratic behaviour and inexplicable whims. Frequent crying. Refusal to go to school. Does any of this sound familiar? Along with these traits, there are other, more subtle symptoms of anxiety, which are addressed in this book. If they are left untreated, such symptoms can lead to negative consequences that can impact on both your child's and family's daily lives. Anxiety disorders that begin in childhood often persist through adolescence and into early adulthood.
Adolescents with anxiety disorders are more likely to develop clinical depression, potentially leading to negative and anti-social behaviours such as vandalism, drug abuse and self-harm. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: The root causes of your child's anxiety. How to easily identify both general and more subtle manifestations of anxiety. Information about specific forms of anxiety. The best strategies and exercises to resolve anxiety and related issues in your child. Management of anxiety for your child at school. What are the needs of a child who is showing instances of anxiety? Someone who has studied anxiety specifically in children and who understands family issues from within. Someone who has a deep understanding of the subtle symptoms of anxiety and knows how to resolve them before it's too late.
Someone who has the knowledge, training, education and experience, both with themselves and others, to guide you and your child in developing the necessary coping tools that can be of lifelong use. I cannot promise you that reading this book will be a 'total cure', but I can GUARANTEE that if you APPLY yourself diligently, take notes, read and re-read the chapters and FOLLOW the guidance within, then your child will feel a noticeable decrease in anxiety within the first 72 hours and should see further improvements beginning to develop within the first 7 days.
