From the Note to Parents and Caregivers:

If you are the parent or caregiver of an anxious child, you know what it's like to be held captive by fear. So does your child. Children who worry too much go to great lengths to avoid frightening situations, unable to shake the fear of what might happen. Unfortunately, the more children capitulate to anxiety, the more powerful it becomes. You have undoubtedly seen this pattern and done your best to reverse it, reassuring, distracting, accommodating, and/or encouraging your child, but it doesn't work. None of it. At least, not in the long run. Anxiety can be neither forced nor jollied away.

But there is hope.

What to Do When You Worry Too Much, Second Edition teaches a new way of thinking about and managing anxiety, one that addresses fear where it begins: in the brain.

This book is part of the Magination Press What-to-Do Guides for Kids (R) series and includes a "Note to Parents and Caregivers."
