[quote=Anonymous]I'm not going to suggest a therapy or therapist. Rather, I will pass along that the most useful approach to understanding anxiety in children I've found comes from the work of Gordon Neufeld. You can find a number of his videos on YouTube, and his book HOLD ON TO YOUR KIDS is helpful, too. Basically, he talks about how anxiety upends the healthy parent-child hierarchy, as kids seek out occasions for control or melt down when they feel themselves at the mercy of adults. His work argues for a whole-family approach, where parents learn to coach their children through distressing experiences of shame or frustration, so that they can better tolerate those kinds of experiences.[/quote]
