Description
Lawrence J. Cohen, Ph.D., offers practical solutions to help parents manage childhood anxiety. This approach focuses on building connection through play and empathy, teaching children about their body's "security system", and promoting tolerance of uncertainty. Simple strategies are presented to tackle anxiety, including finding lighthearted ways to release tension, tackling the author's own anxieties, and using relaxation techniques. By implementing these easy-to-implement solutions, parents can help their child experience a sense of connection, trust, and joy, rather than worry, anxiety, and fear. This informative resource provides comprehensive advice for parents seeking to address childhood anxiety, making it an essential guide for those looking to support their child's emotional well-being.
