    Great book, not just for kids but for adults as well. The “why’s” behind the thought processes and actions that cause anxiety are clearly written and backed by solid research. The steps for dealing with anxiety are clear, progressive and actionable. I found the book interesting and easy to read. There is a lot of information but the areas that are familiar were easy to identify. I have been using some of the practices in the book with my family and it has led to some interesting and eye opening conversations.

    This book does such a great job of explaining what anxiety is, the range of ways it can show up in kids (and/or adults) and how you can get it under control. Dr. Walker’s practice of utilizing CBT and exposure therapy with patients is spot on and I have witnessed it work firsthand. I highly recommend this book as a guide to help you and/or your child learn how to identify, understand and manage anxiety. The guidance laid out is priceless and will be beneficial to anyone suffering from anxiety.

    For the parent who is running out of ideas to help a child worry less overall and fixate less on disappointments, this book is very valuable and practical. I was disheartened at first to learn that my own approach is part of the problem, as I’ve been relying on intuitive actions such as assisting my child in avoiding situations that make her anxious or engaging in excessive attempts to comfort her. Now, I am armed with new information and tools that make sense because the author explains them so well. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a proven process that takes work to work and is worth the investment of time, money, and being open to a different way of viewing positive parenting.
