Deseori, părinții se simt copleșiți de emoții atunci când copiii lor suferă de anxietate. Însă nu știu cât de mult îi pot ajuta de fapt. Tocmai de aceea au decis Michael Grose și Jodi Richardson să scrie această carte – pentru a-i încuraja să dobândească o nouă perspectivă asupra anxietății și să folosească orice ocazie pentru a-i învăța pe copii abilitățile necesare gestionării ei. O adevărată epidemie printre copii, anxietatea poate face ravagii. Iar noi o ignorăm, în loc să luăm măsurile necesare pentru a o opri. Autorii prezintă originile și biologia anxietății – cunoștințe-cheie referitoare la cauzele declanșării ei, simptomele fizice asociate și strategiile ce pot fi utilizate pentru a o stăpâni. Părinții și pedagogii vor afla ce pași să urmeze pentru a-i ajuta pe copii să-și dezvolte inteligența emoțională, să tolereze mai bine disconfortul emoțional, să exerseze mindfulnessul și alte tehnici de relaxare, să devină rezilienți și să capete abilități utile. În acest fel, adulții vor reduce impactul negativ al anxietății, ghidându-i pe copii să trăiască o viață împlinită și fericită.
