Helping your anxious child

Author: Ronald Raby Publication date: 2026 Book category: Parenting Publisher: Bayt Al-Kutub Number of pages: 365 Format: Paperback Book overview: Most children fear the dark, and some fear monsters hiding under the bed. But at least 10% of children suffer from excessive fears and severe anxiety — whether in the form of worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder — which can hinder them from fully enjoying their childhood. If your child suffers from any of these forms of anxiety, the program presented in this book provides scientifically proven practical tools that can help him. The book relies on effective skills in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you assist your child in overcoming fears and severe anxiety. This guide is for children aged 7 to 12, but it includes guidance for modifying interaction methods with younger children and teenagers, making it a comprehensive tool for all stages of childhood.
