Childhood Fears and Anxieties: Social Fears

Lots of people are shy, and there's nothing wrong with that - unless you find that your shyness is preventing you from doing what you want. Some people are so shy that raising their hands in class or even simply saying "hello" to a stranger can be overwhelming. This book looks at the types of social fears that can hold us back and provides advice about how to overcome them.
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.
