Summary

Parenting an anxious child means facing constant challenges and questions: When should parents help children avoid anxiety-provoking situations, and when should they encourage them to face their fears? How can parents foster independence while still supporting their children? How can parents reduce the hold their child's anxiety has taken over the entire family?

Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD: A Scientifically Proven Program for Parents is the first and only book to provide a completely parent-based treatment program for child and adolescent anxiety. Parents will learn how to alleviate their children's anxiety by changing the way they themselves respond to their children's symptoms - importantly, parents are not required to impose changes on their children's behavior. Instead, parents are shown how to replace their own accommodating behaviors (which allow anxiety to flourish) with supportive responses that demonstrate both acceptance of children's difficulties and confidence in their ability to cope. From understanding child anxiety and OCD, to learning how to talk with an anxious child, to avoiding common traps and pitfalls (such as being overly protective or demanding), to identifying the ways in which parents have been enabling a child's anxious behaviors, this book is full of detailed guidance and practical suggestions.

Brilliant book but no pdf!

A great book but very frustrating that it does not come with a PDF for the worksheets which you get in the book. This means I need to buy the book too

Great support and easy listening

I read the book as I work with families who are vulnerable. I am always looking for strategies for the many unique and complex situations I find myself and my families enduring.
I loved this book as it tackles the subject confidently without assigning blame. I could also visualise how helpful this will be for my families and give them the language to increase their confidence. I would definitely recommend for anyone, my own children are in their mid twenties and it helped me to reflect on their childhood, some of my misgivings and supported me to break some of my own guilt in how I felt I should or shouldn't have handled different situations. Thus book will last a life time. Thank you.
