When human beings think they’re in danger, they react with either ‘fight’ or ‘flight’. These reactions are hard-wired in us, but we all respond differently. A child’s behavior when he is anxious or worried may be in the ‘fight’ mode, with disruptive, oppositional, explosive, angry, or a melt-down – trying to overcome the source of the fear by force. Publication Title: Your anxious child: How parents and teachers can relieve anxiety in children. This self-help book was written by John Dacey (who, according to PsycINFO, has published primarily in the area of creativity and intelligence in children) and Lisa Fiore (for whom, according to PsycINFO, this is a first publication). The authors nominate that their goal is to teach parents how to empower their children with coping skills that help to relieve anxiety in diverse situations. INTRODUCTION TO ANXIETYThe majority of children and adolescents who come to our service are anxious. Some have specific fears such as fear of dogs or the wind or heights. Some are anxious about making friends or doing well enough at school. |
