My 14 year old daughter has suffered with anxiety (specifically, OCD) since the age of four. This book is possibly the best book on the topic I've ever read, and I've read many. I enthusiastically recommend it to any parent with a child who suffers from anxiety.

A must buy for anyone working with anxious children:
Dr. Wagner's expertise comes alive in this practical guidebook for anyone who is trying to help an anxious child get up and over the "worry hill."

The children have really enjoyed the approaches and it has been a moving experience to watch them overcome their worse fears. I highly highly recommend this workbook and you will not be disappointed.
