The beginning of this year I was afflicted with panic attacks. ADD and Clinical Depression afflict me; I believed anxiety did not. I have discovered over the last year that I am a very anxious person. To the point where it causes me to make decisions I wouldn't otherwise make. I shared about my experience and started reading about anxiety.
As we traveled this year I realized that my youngest daughter exhibits some of my mannerisms. Especially if she is scared, tired, stressed or uncomfortable. That set me into a panic mode. (There's that anxiety again!) Did I pass on this horrific gene to her...or have I done something to contribute to her issues? I think as a momma, I beat up myself more than I should.
So, when I'm unsure about things, I read. As much as I can. This last month I've been reading Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents: 7 Ways to Stop the Worry Cycle and Raise Courageous and Independent Children. Written by Dr. Reid Wilson and Lynn Lyons, LICSW, published by HCI). It is schedule for release on September 3, 2013.
This book helps parents learn how to deal with kids who seem to get a stomach-ache every morning. The child who clings to her mom whenever they leave the house. The child compulsively washing hands, arranging the closets or checking windows. Anxiety stops children from leaving independent and productive lives. The 7 steps in this book will change lives.
