When Your Child Worries Too Much

If your child worries too much, you already know how painful it is to watch them struggle—and how easy it is to wonder if you are handling it right. This book is here to help. Drawing on trusted principles from child development and anxiety science, Naomi Clarke Bishop offers warm, practical guidance that fits your real life. You'll learn to recognize when worry has crossed from normal to problematic, how to respond without accidentally reinforcing fears, and simple, evidence-backed strategies to build your child's courage and resilience. From helping a preschooler through a meltdown over a thunderstorm to supporting a preteen through social anxiety, each chapter meets you where you are. There is no blame, no jargon, and no one-size-fits-all prescription—just clear tools, sample scripts, and age-by-age advice that adapts to your child's unique temperament. Because you already have what it takes to be the calm, confident anchor your child needs. Part of The Everyday Parenting Library.
