The Worried Child: Recognizing Anxiety in Children and Helping Them Heal.
By Paul Foxman, Ph.D.
Anxiety in children diminishes their intellectual, emotional and social development, as well as their physical health. Children today deal with increased family breakdown, a failing school system and social violence. The result is a shell-shocked generation of children, many of whom suffer from significant anxiety.
The Worried Child shows that this anxiety can be prevented — or at least minimized — by raising children's self-confidence and increasing their social and selfdom skills. Using exercises, sample dialogues and case studies, this book offers concrete steps that can be taken by parents, school personnel, healthcare professionals and children themselves to reduce anxiety.
Dr. Foxman covers the importance of good health habits (rest, relaxation, nutrition and exercise) as well as replacing worry with positive cognitive skills.
