Anxiety among Children and Adolescents
Recognising and Fighting It
Children sometimes get so worked up during a school exam or a sports competition that they are not able to complete them. Now and then they avoid confronting peers because they fear their judgment. At times they worry about the future and require constant reassurance. Among children and adolescents anxiety sometimes reaches exceedingly high levels and turns into a veritable disorder. This book provides an authoritative guide to understanding the causes and forms of anxiety and the most appropriate interventions for dealing with it.
