Overcoming your child's shyness & social anxiety : a self-help guide using cognitive behavioral techniques

See all formats and editions

While many children are naturally shy, extreme shyness or social anxiety can become a major childhood problem.

Children may fear going to school to the point of developing a phobia, they may avoid making friends and miss out on valuable learning and developmental experiences.

Childhood shyness can also set a pattern for social anxiety in adulthood.

In "Overcoming Your Child's Shyness and Social Anxiety", child psychologists Lucy Willetts and Cathy Creswell explain how parents can help a shy child learn to challenge their thoughts and behaviour patterns and learn to participate confidently in every aspect of their lives.

Based on clinically proven cognitive behavioural principles, the book explains what causes shyness, how to identify social anxiety in your child (sometimes masked by anger or stubbornness) and how to gradually help your child face their anxieties and develop problem-solving strategies.

This book is a must for parents, teachers and anyone working with children.
