Family Fears

Families are the center of most kids livesparents are their guides and protectors, while siblings are their first friends. Threats to family unity can be frightening, be it fighting and divorce, sickness and death, or some other issue, like deployment or deportation. This book explores various family fears and offers advice about how to manage anxiety about what might (but probably wont) occur. Fear and anxiety are completely normal parts of growing up. Fear keeps us from climbing too high up that tree, while anxiety reminds us that we ought to study for that test tomorrow. But when anxiety gets out of control, it can rob kids of their educations, friends, and happiness. The set Childhood Fears and Anxieties takes a warm, supportive look at these feelings and how they can be managed.
