Publisher's Summary
Being the parent of a smart child is great - until your son or daughter starts asking whether global warming is real, if you are going to die, and what will happen if they don't get into college. Kids who are advanced intellectually often let their imaginations run wild and experience fears beyond their years. So what can you do to help?
In Why Smart Kids Worry, Allison Edwards guides you through the mental and emotional process of where your child's fears come from and why they are so hard to move past. Edwards focuses on how to parent a child who is both smart and anxious and brings her years of experience as a therapist to give you the answers to questions such as:
- How do smart kids think differently?
- Should I let my child watch the nightly news on TV?
- How do I answer questions about terrorists, hurricanes, and other scary subjects?
Edwards's 15 specially designed tools for helping smart kids manage their fears will help you and your child work together to help him or her to become more relaxed and worry-free.
What the critics say
"Therapist Edwards brings profound insight into the minds of gifted, anxious children in this parent-friendly handbook. Fifteen tools for parents and children to use together offer practical approaches to teaching coping skills and emotional competence, and will work well for any child with anxiety. Parents will be comforted by Edwards's analysis, which frames children's worrying as a manageable challenge." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

Very useful!
Great content for parents/workers of anxious youth and/or children with discrepancies learning. It goes in depth yet it's very clear and practical. 100/100 I wish there was a PDF to summarize all the tools mentioned in the audio.
