Overcoming Parental Anxiety. How to Raise Children Without Excess Worry

Are you constantly worried about your child? Perhaps they are falling behind certain developmental milestones, struggling in school, having difficulty making friends, or are heading off to college for the first time, far from home. In any case, when a child's problems become a parent's problems, the latter may experience intense anxiety that prevents them from enjoying parenting and connecting with their children. But it's not all bad! You can reprogram your "parenting brain" to respond differently to what's happening and replace anxiety with parental effectiveness. In this book, you will learn how defining your own values, being present in the moment, and developing self-compassion can help overcome excessive worry - once and for all. It also includes targeted exercises to help minimize anxiety so you can live more fully and enjoy the shared experiences with your children. Thanks to the brain's ability to create new neural connections, you can achieve that elusive sense of calm that comes so easily to some parents. The simple, achievement-based neurological skills described here will help you start this important work.
