Parents can play a strong role in helping their children overcome
anxiety disorders--given the right tools. This innovative,
research-based book shows clinicians how to teach parents
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to use with their 5- to
12-year-old. Session-by-session guidelines are provided for giving
parents the skills to promote children's flexible thinking and
independent problem solving, help them face specific fears, and tackle
accompanying difficulties, such as sleep problems and school refusal.
User-friendly features include illustrative case studies, sample
scripts, advice on combining face-to-face sessions with telephone
support, and pointers for overcoming roadblocks. Several parent handouts
can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.
