Some good basic information, however nothing overly new or groundbreaking. It is sad that anxiety is becoming so much more prevalent for young people, so it is good to see a rise in books like this, to help us support our youngsters. It has good foundation level knowledge for those who have minimal understanding of anxiety. For those with more professional knowledge, this won't add anything new.

Being a parent is tough work. And when your child has an anxiety disorder, the tough gets upgraded to downright hard. You love your child, and it hurts to see them afraid or constantly worried. But life needs to be lived, and schedules often need to be kept-especially if your child is in school! So, how can you manage your child's anxiety during those trying moments when you just need to get from A to B without losing your sanity?

This was a truly invaluable book for trying to negotiate dealing with my stepson with anxiety issues that we were struggling to understand, let alone help him with. Great useful strategies that helped.

This book is great for parents who struggle with children with anxiety. Anxiety Relief for Kids
by Bridget Flynn Walker has some great ideas for parents as well as children who are capable of understand anxiety. The books helps parents guide there children in a postive and less stress filled world.
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this copy of Anxiety Relief for Kids

I was surprised at how much information was jammed packed in such a short book. It has been a life saver for my family as it has provided me with tools to help my daughter with her anxiety as she's in an accelerated program at school and feels a lot of pressure to get things done quickly.

I highly recommend this book to help not only your child, but also you in how to identify, understand and manage anxiety.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley.

I didn't feel like I got much new information out of this book that I couldn't have come up with on my own or that an internet search wouldn't have led me to. I do however think that it is an important stepping stone to help kids with anxiety get the help they need. You do not hear a lot of talk about high anxiety in kids, and yet it does happen and these kids definitely need the help to get better and also to feel like they are not alone. For that, I commend the author for opening up a conversation that needs to be started.

Anxiety Relief for Kids did a great job of explaining to parents how the children feel and what to do and what not to do. The information was definitely interesting.

I liked it. It seems like a useful way to help kids with anxiety. It does have some parts that doesn’t seem likely to work with every kid, either because it is too childish for bigger kids or because it requires too much self-awareness and little kids might not be able to do it correctly, but in general terms, it is a good book and I think it can be a good tool to help mot kids dealing with anxiety.

The book is written in a simple language. It is very easy to understand the concepts it explain. It also use examples, including in those conversations between parent and kid, but doesn’t used them in excess making it boring. There are chapters that help to identify triggers, correct thinking errors and develop a plan for exposure, among others, but that last one I mention, was the one that I find more helpful, although I wouldn’t recommend to go to that one without have the knowledge the previous one will give.

One of the limitations I think it has is that it depend on the parent’s willingness to work along the kid. There is one thing to read a book about the theme, which is already a sign the parent want to help, but I wonder how many of the people who will read the book, will take seriously the commitment to work for this. To anyone willing to do it, this book will be a great tool.

This book was written in a way that a parent can understand and easily implement the information provided. It also provides documents to aide in this form of treatment as well.

Like all "Self Help" books it was very repetitive and gave many similar examples but that is needed to get across the way to use this method. I would have liked for more variety and not always going back to the to the same kids but understand that we were following them from beginning to end. However, at the end of the book we are given a lot of different examples that redeemed the repetitiveness of the beginning. If they were sprinkled through out I would have liked that better. I also would have like to have examples for younger children since the author mentions anxiety being present at young ages but doesn't address how to handle that exactly.

At the beginning I found it to be a little cheesy and thought back to when I was a teen and I would not have wanted to role-play with my parents or even mention my anxieties to them. However, by the end it seemed like the kids were more open to talk when they realized they were actually getting over their anxieties. I think a parent would already need a to be communicating in a healthy way in order to do this method on your own, without a doctor. If you child received this treatment from a doctor, this would be a great book to educate yourself and open up your communication with your child.

Bridget Flynn Walker's "Anxiety Relief for Kids" is an insightful and comprehensive guide on how to help children feel less anxious in our stressful world. I'd recommend this book to any parent who wants a book that offers a down-to-earth approach and is full of pragmatic ways to reduce kids' anxieties.

Will definitely use this book in the future, many helpful tips

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. This is a helpful book onky if your child is quite mature, helpful, and fully self-aware. I didn't find it very helpful.

A great book it read about anxiety disorders and its relief .........

A great book to help parents with kids suffering in today's busy lifestyle.

This book had some great information that I can't wait to try! The book was set up great reading wise, I thought so anyway! Wonder if there's one for adults!

I liked the information covered in this book. I have a child who suffers from anxiety and I think some of the strategies laid out in the book will be beneficial for him. The book is well written and the layout is easy to follow.

A really helpful book for parents to help their children with anxiety at home with easy to follow CBT exercises, with handy nutshell summaries at the end of each chapter, diagrams, activities and feedback. Easy to follow yet detailed to keep coming back to this is a very useful tool.
