Overcoming Anxiety in Children & Teens

This is a fantastic book filled with information, insights, and strategies to help kids and teens tame their anxiety so they can master their fears. From cognitive behavioral strategies to reducing environmental stressors, from creating a "fear ladder" to stress-busting techniques, to individualized approaches for kids with issues including social anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, phobias, selective mutism, and even less verbal kids with autism, this practical, powerful book is essential reading for anyone who cares about young people with anxiety.
