¿ Boosting your child¿s self-esteem and confidence

¿ Dealing with fears and worries

¿ Creating a stable, safe, and happy home-life

¿ Negotiating the mental healthcare system

¿ Daily diet and available medicines

An invaluable resource for the family or the professional, Coping with an

Anxious or Depressed Child provides the best tools available to reclaim

your child¿s life from the blight of depression and anxiety.
