Helping your child cope with fear.

Format: Paperback

Pages: 120

Is your child afraid... of going to sleep with the light out? Of being alone? Of walking past a big dog? Of burglars and abductors?

It is very distressing for parents to feel unable to help a fearful child. Confident Kids tells you how to empower your child to handle common childhood fears with simple, workable strategies available to every parent.

Dr Janet Hall looks at the causes, symptoms and treatment of problem fears and shows how they can be overcome with confidence-building actitivies, games, stories, self-talk and rewards which even very young children can enjoy. Three case studies in the form of stories to be read by children show how Rebecca, Sam and Peter overcame fears of burglars, 'bogeymen' and big black dogs.
