Book Description

Praised by Publishers Weekly as a "cogent manual for helping children cope with anxiety," Parenting Anxious Kids by Dr. Regine Galanti offers a lifeline: an expert-developed, parent-approved guide to raising brave, emotionally resilient kids.

More children than ever are battling anxiety and many parents feel powerless to support them. Grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and adapted for real-life parenting, this clear, compassionate book shows you how to break free from anxious patterns and coach your child―no matter their age―to face fears and build lasting confidence.

You'll learn how to:

• Recognize what's normal vs. problematic anxiety at each stage of development, from toddlers through teens
• Use proven tools like the "accommodation ladder" and HALT to gently disrupt anxiety cycles
• Stop walking on eggshells by replacing anxious habits with strength-building strategies
• Foster emotional independence with "special time," modeling, and CBT-based parenting techniques

With relatable case examples and action checklists, this guide is more than informative, it's empowering.
