Summary:

"All parents worry about their kids. But for some parents, worry and anxiety about their children can be constant and overwhelming. In Overcoming Parental Anxiety, three anxiety specialists team up to offer parents essential skills for "rewiring" their anxious brain using the core principles of neuroscience and practices from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Using the targeted exercises in this book, parents can stop worrying and start enjoying being a parent!"-- Provided by publisher.
