Sample Book Insights: #1 Fear, worry, and anxiety in children can take many forms. They can be normal parts of developing maturity, or they can be excessive and cause a problem for the child. #2 Anxiety is the most common problem reported by children of all ages. It affects children of all backgrounds, from infants to adolescents. It can affect anyone, and it can cause significant interference in children’s lives. #3 Talia is a typical nine-year-old with a big group of friends and a cheeky streak. She loves rock music, is a member of the school basketball team, and rarely worries about a thing. But Talia is scared of water. She learned to swim when she was five years old, but she’s never enjoyed it and has always avoided deep water as much as possible. #4 Ten-year-old Kurt is a worrier. He worries about his schoolwork, his parents’ health, and whether he will forget to feed his dog. He washes his hands hundreds of times a day, constantly worried about getting sick.
