Summary

But despite all this, one in five children today suffers from a diagnosed anxiety disorder, and countless others suffer from anxiety that interferes with critical social, academic, and physical development. Dr. Donna Pincus, nationally recognized childhood anxiety expert, is here to help.
In Growing Up Brave , Dr. Pincus helps parents identify and understand anxiety in their children, outlines effective and convenient parenting techniques for reducing anxiety, and shows parents how to promote bravery for long-term confidence.

Booklist Review
Parents want their kids to feel confident for life. And yet as many as one in five children suffers from an anxiety disorder, the top mental-health problem in the U.S. Fortunately, as Pincus' helpful power-of-positive-thinking guide makes clear, parents can raise kids with confidence. The author, director of the child and adolescent fear and anxiety treatment program at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, at Boston University, notes that she named the book Growing Up Brave, not Helping Your Child with Anxiety, for good reasons. She helps moms and dads to understand their children's worries at each age, from social status in middle school to body image and, eventually, career decisions. And she urges parents to keep their cool. If it's hard to get a child to talk, parents can suggest a walk together. For parents who want more resources, Pincus lists worthy groups and websites. Her can-do bottom line: celebrate successes, and don't worry so much about anxiety winning out.--Springen, Karen Copyright 2010 Booklist
