|  | Help for Worried Kids
How Your Child Can Conquer Anxiety and Fear
by Cynthia G. Last, PhD
Most childhood fears are nothing to worry about. But panic attacks, phobias, and persistent anxiety can darken a child's horizons and lead to disrupted sleep, lower grades, and missed opportunities to make friends and explore the world. Dr Cynthia G Last helps parents determine when a child's apprehension is cause for concern. Drawing on 25 years of clinical practice and research, she vividly illustrates the different forms that childhood anxiety can take and offers practical solutions specific to each. For example, Dr Last shows how to schedule "worry time" to ease generalized anxiety, and explains why reassurance is often counter-productive for kids with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The book emphasizes strategies for preventing episodes before they begin, demonstrates how to intervene when one is in progress, and offers tips on how to keep anxiety from worsening as a child matures. Readers will learn to be consistent and encouraging as their child develops the confidence needed to face--and conquer--worries of every kind.

|  | The Selective Mutism Resouce Manual
by Alison Wintgens and Maggie Johnson
Selective mutism is a rare condition but it is important because selectively mute children are at a significant disadvantage personally and socially. It is also a greater barrier to learning, with the increased emphasis on verbalization within the school curriculum. More resources and attention are often directed towards the disruptive child. This manual emphasizes practical assessment and treatment, advice and information. The approach is based on behavioural principles and a hierarchy of stages of confident speaking originally conceived by Anthony Glassberg. Starting with a summary of the literature and theory, it is then followed by ideas on assessment and management, with accompanying photocopiable material. Case examples and a discussion about progress, transfer and discharge are also included.
