This book is perfect for helping parents and teachers educate children to understand how their mind works when they are suffering from anxiety and worry habits. There's no age limit to anxiety and often, young people find it much harder to understand the inner workings of their thoughts and emotions. This was why I started to adapt my work to truly allow children to understand how they are feeling and find ways for them to let go of anxiety and make positives changes. This interactive self-help book designed to explain, guide and teach 6 - 15 years old children and their parents how to change those worry habits. Since 1994 Sara has been an anxiety specialist working with children and adults on a one to one basis. With a degree and masters in the field, Sara is also an educational author and delivers CPD teacher trainer events using her books as teaching aids. You can go to www.sarastevens.co.uk where there are free downloadable worksheets that you can access, to use alongside the book. Does your child worry a lot and looks for lots of reassurance from you? can your child get anxious, irritable, emotional, stomach upsets, angry or withdrawn? Maybe your child has issues concentrating, has lost interest in things they normally enjoy or is acting out in situations. All of these could be signs that your child is struggling with anxiety. Inside the BookThe book has a clear, fun and reassuring analogy that enables you and your child to gain that deeper understand of how the mind forms worry habits and how to break them. Feeding the cat will be feeding on your anxiety! But watch out, as the bigger he gets, the more anxious you get! until he has turned into a massive lion. Not feeding the cat is a unique resource to help children and young people understand worry habits and anxiety finding ways to manage them. Also, the book allows the child to truly know that you do understand how they are feeling as well as enabling your child to feel they have the new knowledge and techniques to self-empower them to change. The book has educational metaphors that allow the parent/teacher to start important conversations with the child. There are also cognitive-behavioural techniques most often used in the treatment of generalised worries and anxiety. Engaging, encouraging, and easy to follow, this book educates, motivates, and empowers children to work towards positive change. This book shows you and your child how to truly understand what will reduce the worries and anxiety habits, plus more importantly what your child could be doing to increase the anxieties. The book can help with panic attacks, phobias, social anxiety, school anxiety, generalised anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The book clearly helps children to understand why they get anxious and how they can stop feeding their anxiety habits. It is also an ideal anxiety management resource for those working with young people, including mental health practitioners, social workers, teachers, hospital staff and youth workers.
