The authors have organised the book into a 10-session course for therapists to use with parents, and each chapter describes a single session of the programme. The course has been evaluated through use with children with a range of primary anxiety disorders, including separation anxiety, social anxiety, generalised anxiety, panic, agoraphobia, and specific phobias. The book allows mental health professionals to provide parents with a calm, warm, clear and reliable parenting style, within which their children can overcome their fears and worries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe course teaches some effective cognitive behavioural techniques for helping children manage their worries and fears. The editors provide an overview of the causes of anxiety in childhood, as well as step-by-step instructions for running the course. The techniques used throughout the book have all been created and tested by the authors in their clinical work, and have a proven track record of success.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe result is a book that will allow mental health professionals to train confident parents who know how to instil confidence in their child in order to minimize the effects of anxiety.\u003c\/p\u003e  ‘Parents and therapists will be delighted that there finally exists a scientifically tested and clearly described program to help change the lives of young, anxious children.
