Description
What if our good intentions are contributing to the rise in children's anxiety?
Parents, teachers, and schools invest more care and effort than ever before to ensure children reach their potential. Yet today, young people seem more anxious and less capable of navigating the milestones of childhood and young adult life.
Is the kind of care and support we provide inadvertently increasing children's anxiety?
Could the special accommodations we give to some children make their anxiety worse?
Clinical psychologists Dr Danielle Einstein and Dr Judith Locke have combined forces to show why we are in this situation. They discuss how a perfect storm of today's popular approaches to caring for children, altered beliefs about how best to support them, and easier access to technology is making children more anxious and less prepared to face typical tasks and experience the normal joys and satisfactions of life.
Raising Anxiety shows you how to turn this situation around and encourage your child to become resilient, confident, and ready for the challenges of childhood and beyond. Judith and Danielle give you practical strategies to help your child face their day-to-day responsibilities, handle the complexities of interacting with others, and positively use technology. They also include a new approach to managing worry which will help you and your child tame your anxiety. These techniques have helped thousands of families clinically and in talks for parents and teachers. Now they can help you too.
