Fear and anxiety are normal parts of growing up. Fear keeps us from climbing too high up that tree, while anxiety reminds us that we ought to study for that test tomorrow. But when anxiety gets out of control, it can rob kids of their educations, friends and happiness. The books in the 'Childhood Fears and Anxieties' series looks at different types of fears and anxieties, from fear of the dark to fear of the doctor, and from phobias to separation anxiety.
