I Bet I Wont Fret

We all experience anxiety at some time during our lives when confronted by difficult circumstances, but some children experience constant anxiety about everyday activities and events. In time, this can become a constant and pervasive condition. This workbook is designed to help children with generalized anxiety disorder, or GAD. Typically, children that have GAD experience excessive worry and fear about a number of concerns for a period of at least six months, along with an inability to control their worry. Some of these concerns may relate to real-life situations, such as problems in school, and others may be about unlikely or unrealistic things, like being hit by a meteor. Sometimes worry may be free-floating and not linked to a specific aspect of life. Children may simply feel anxious all of the time for no apparent reason.It's critical to recognize and treat anxiety in kids early, before these problems develop into serious, lifelong conditions. I Bet I Won't Fret offers parents a range of proven-effective techniques that can support and accelerate any treatment program.About the Author:Timothy A.
