Anxiety and Fear in Daily Life (Childhood Fears and Anxieties)

It's unavoidable: life is uncertain. None of us knows exactly what the future will bring. Learning to live with that uncertainty—to manage our fears rather than letting them manage us—is a vital skill that everyone must learn. This book explores why we feel anxiety and at how (believe it or not!) not all anxiety is bad. It also offers practical advice about what we can do when it feels like fear might be getting the best of us. Fear and anxiety are completely normal parts of growing up. Fear keeps us from climbing too high up that tree, while anxiety reminds us that we ought to study for that test tomorrow. But when anxiety gets out of control, it can rob kids of their educations, friends, and happiness. The set Childhood Fears and Anxieties takes a warm, supportive look at these feelings and how they can be managed.
