**Completely Updated in December/2016**Anxiety is defined as a feeling of extreme fear, nervousness, uneasiness or worry of impending doom, or an event of undetermined outcome. However, anxiety is not always a pathological process. The same feeling occurs naturally in association with an intense desire to do something. Every child or teenager experiences some degree of anxiety as part of their normal social and emotional development. Anxiety only becomes a problem when it is prolonged and starts to interfere with the normal expected daily activities of the child or teenager. Normal anxiety responds to comfort and reassurance; this is not true with clinical anxiety.This book is dedicated to all of those parents who have suffered through temper tantrums, mood swings, shouting matches, pouting, and arguments with their children. You have not failed if your child is depressed or anxious. You have just been given a challenge to create an environment which will help your child conquer this anxiety and grow into healthy adults.

**Completely Updated in December/2016** Everyone of us has had a day, a moment or perhaps even a lifetime of being critical of ourselves over something. Perhaps it was or is our nose that we don't like. Our height? Our weight? Our parents? Our grades? Our voice? Our clothes? Our lack of athletic talent? Our neighborhood?It just seems to be human nature to be critical of ourselves. This self-criticism coupled with the criticism that exists all around us at school, in the world, and at home can mold us into individuals with low self-esteem. While we occasionally see in the news where people are afraid there may be too much falsely inflated self-esteem in children today, there definitely needs to be more focus on those children and teens with low self-esteem.Remember: Every activity a child does which results in success helps improve his/her self-esteem. While depression, anxiety, ADHD and other disorders may cloud the child's view of success, it is still of utmost importance that adults find ways to produce success-building activities for children and teens. This book gives you a view of the many causes of self-esteem problems, the ways we can treat this complex issue, and the possible results of poor self-esteem left untreated. If you apply the skills learned in this book to your family life, with all of your children and even yourself, you will see amazing changes. Low Self-Esteem does not have to continue, if you have the tools to treat it.This book will open your eyes and hearts to what we need to do to help our children and ourselves with this difficult problem.
