School Fears

School looms large in most kids' lives, so it makes sense that school-related anxieties loom equally large. Whether it's hard tests or scary teachers, getting along with friends or simply getting by in gym, school can provoke many different anxieties in different kids. This book discusses a whole range of potentially scary situations and offers concrete advice about what kids can do to feel better. 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.
