The Worried Child: A Parent's Guide to Understanding Childhood Anxiety

Childhood anxiety can feel overwhelming—for both the child and the parent. In The Worried Child, family counselor Priya Anand Rao offers a warm, practical guide to understanding what lies behind those anxious moments and how to respond with empathy and confidence. Drawing on years of clinical experience and real family stories, Rao helps parents distinguish between normal worry and persistent anxiety, recognize the subtle signs children often hide, and create a home environment where fears can be expressed without shame. You will learn gentle communication techniques, simple coping tools, and when to seek professional support—all while protecting your child's sense of security and your own peace of mind. This book is not about fixing your child; it is about walking alongside them with patience and trust. With clear guidance for every age from preschool through adolescence, The Worried Child empowers parents to become their child's safest ally. Part of The Modern Parenthood Library.
