Anxiety Relief for Kids: On-The-Spot Strategies to Help Your Child Overcome Worry, Panic, and Avoidance by Bridget Flynn Walker

3.0

Basically a parents guide to coaching your child with CBT strategies and in that regard lots of good stuff including sample coaching conversations. As someone who practices CBT with my students though, I was bothered by one aspect of the authors approach that appeared to consider reframing thoughts as a form of reassurance-seeking that would actually perpetuate the anxiety (use of it as a “safety” behavior. This wasn’t consistent with my training, nor what I see as effective in practice.
