Childhood Fears and Anxieties: Medical Fears

Let's face it, not many of us enjoy going to the doctor. But some people genuinely fear the doctor, dentist, or hospital - some are terrified of tests, others of needles, and still others are anxious about being judged. This book looks into the many things that unnerve patients and provides concrete tips about how to make doctor visits a little less scary.
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.
