And now, kids have help -- whether they struggle a little or a lot. 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 to try. He starts by explaining why we have worries and fears, then focuses on the kinds of anxieties kids commonly have: fears after something bad has happened; fears of people, animals, and situations; separation anxiety; and more. He explains each type of fear in detail -- what might cause it, how it feels -- then offers specific suggestions on how to gain control over negative feelings. Kids learn to relax, use their imaginations, face their fears, change their thoughts and beliefs from negative to positive, and ask for help. Includes a special chapter for parents, references, resources, and a glossary., All kids feel sad and lonely sometimes.
