Meredith Elkins: Parenting Anxiety, Gebunden

Klappentext

A groundbreaking look at how our kids' anxiety feeds off of our own, with practical strategies to help parents stop the cycle in its tracks—from the director of the specialty clinic for pediatric anxiety

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by an endless cycle of worry—about your child’s safety, their future, and the day-to-day challenges of parenting? In a world where parenting advice is often contradictory and anxiety-inducing, it's easy to feel lost and unsure of how to best support your child without succumbing to the stress yourself. The Surgeon General of the United States has even gone as far as to declare parenting hazardous to one’s mental health.

In Parenting Anxiety, Harvard Medical School psychologist Dr. Meredith Elkins gives parents a playbook of practical advice on what to do, and stop doing, to support their family’s mental wellbeing. Using transformative real-life patient stories, this compassionate guide acknowledges the immense pressure modern parents face and provides practical, evidence-based strategies to help you manage your own anxiety while effectively supporting your child’s emotional well-being, from toddlerhood to the teenage years. Rather than getting caught in the extremes—hovering over your child’s every move or dismissing their fears—this book shows you how to find balance, fostering resilience in both yourself and your children.

In this book, you’ll learn

How to manage both the everyday and big picture anxieties of raising a family
