Summary
Previously published as Overcoming Your Child's Fears and Worries.
Does your child suffer from fears and worries that affect their behaviour or keep them awake at night?
Fears and worries are very common among children, with around 15% thought to suffer from anxiety disorders, the most commonly identified emotional or behavioural problems among children. However, if left unchecked, they can cause more serious problems such as school avoidance, difficulties in making friends and long-term problems with anxiety and depression.
Written by two of the UK's foremost experts on childhood anxiety, this extremely useful guide will enable you to understand what is causing your child's worries and to carry out step-by-step practical strategies to help him or her to overcome them, including addressing specific fears and phobias as well as general anxiety and 'worrying’.
Helping Your Child is a series for parents and caregivers to support children through developmental difficulties, both psychological and physical. Each guide uses clinically-proven techniques.
Series editors: Professor Peter Cooper and Dr Polly Waite.

Awkward narration distracts from useful content
This was recommended by CAMHS for CBT for my child. The narration is painfully slow, thankfully it can be sped up. However, the delivery was incredibly cringeworthy and patronising to the point it became distracting. It is a shame because there are some useful elements to this self-help book. It is repetitive though, and I felt much of it could have been cut out.

Okay for those who have never had cbt themselves
I was recommended this by camhs but it really wasn’t applicable to my child so my view of it is possibly influenced by that. However I found it quite condescending, lots of words used to make a point which could have been more succinct and then repeated a lot- almost as if I was back in school. I also found it contradictory in places. If you have never had CBT yourself it could be more helpful for you to understand how it works. But I remain confused why CAMHs seem to recommend this to so many parents, in the introduction it states it’s not tested for those with trauma, OCD or autism, (though may still be helpful) and to seek additional support - which doesn’t exist just the recommendation of this book.
So for me, not great.
