From Timid To Tiger: A Treatment Manual for Parenting the Anxious Child

“This book should be found in the library of every community and school based clinician working in children services.”  (Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy, 2012)

“As a mental health practitioner I found reading this book extremely helpful in understanding how to apply a framework of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and Webster-Stratton style parenting training into a group programme.”  (Young Minds, 1 June 2012)

"Organised as a 10-session parenting-based course, this step-by-step approach to conquering anxieties is easy to read and potentially life-changing." (Family Interest Magazine, 1 August 2011)

‘Parents and therapists will be delighted that there finally exists a scientifically tested and clearly described program to help change the lives of young, anxious children. This book provides a clear and practical guide for mental health professionals based on the authors’ years of scientific research and applied clinical experience. It will give therapists the confidence and knowledge to address an important area of emotional health that has been ignored for far too long.’
—Dr Ronald M. Rapee, Macquarie University, Australia

‘Anxiety is the leading problem for children in this era of increased stress, vulnerability, and uncertainty. And parents play a critical role in our attempts to both understand and treat these vexing and troubling problems. Based on the well established principles of cognitive behavior therapy and parent management training, this is a highly readable, clinically sensitive, and uncannily helpful volume. These master clinicians speak from the trenches and the heart and they speak loudly and clearly. This is a volume that will not only be helpful to parents – and, I might add, grandparents – but also to clinicians and students in training. It is a volume whose time has come.’
—Professor Thomas H. Ollendick, Virginia Tech, USA
