Product Description
From a fear of spiders to panic attacks, kids have worries and fears, just like adults. But while adults have access to a lot of helpful information, that hasnt been true for kidsuntil now. Drawing on his years of experience helping children deal with anxiety, Dr. James Crist has written a book that kids can turn to when they need advice, reassurance, and ideas. He starts by telling young readers that all kids are scared and worried sometimes; theyre not alone. He explains where fears and worries come from and how the mind and body work together to make fears worse or better. He describes various kinds of fears and suggests ten Fear Chasers and Worry Erasers kids can try to feel safer, stronger, and calmer. The second part of the book focuses on phobias, separation anxiety, OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), and other problems too big for kids to handle on their own, and explains what its like to get counseling. Includes a special "Note to Grown-ups" and a! list of resources.

Very Helpful November 17, 2008
This book has been very helpful. We have been working through the exercises as a family and my kids seem to really enjoy it. It has helped my kids identify their fears and understand how to manage their anxiety better. This is a very user friendly book.

A MUST HAVE if you know anyone suffering from anxiety May 5, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This is a completely thorough, easy to read book that will give you an understanding of what your anxious child is going through and how you can help. It explains exactly what anxiety is and what your child is going through. It also explains how to set goals to help your child through this very difficult time. No matter what type and severity of your child's anxiety, this is a must have book. My 8-year-old has a specific phobia (I didn't realize until I was reading this book) and we are currently working to help her deal with it. I have never reviewed a book but I feel so strongly that anyone who has a child with anxiety issues or knows someone who does, to GET THIS BOOK.

Wonderful conversation starter October 11, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

This book was wonderful and a tool I'll use with my 9-year old son again! It was a conversation-starter because I was able to learn things that made my son anxious about that I wasn't even aware of and he felt less isolated because I completed the activities with him and was able to show him that everyone fears some things.br /br /My son really enjoyed reading it and it was a great bonding opportunity.
