Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking: Powerful, Practical Strategies to Build a Lifetime of Resilience, Flexibility, and Happiness Kindle Edition
A leading clinical expert in the fields of child cognitive behaviour therapy and anxiety disorders, Dr. Tamar Chansky frequently counsels children (and their parents) whose negative thinking creates chronic or occasional emotional hurdles and impedes optimism, flexibility, and happiness. Now, in the first book that specifically focuses on negative thinking in kids, Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking provides parents, caregivers, and clinicians the same clear, concise, and compassionate guidance that Dr. Chansky employed in her previous guides to relieving children from anxiety and obsessive compulsive symptoms. Here she thoroughly covers the underlying causes of children’s negative attitudes, as well as providing multiple strategies for managing negative thoughts, building optimism, and establishing emotional resilience.

Review
“An excellent action based book that offers solutions on how to turn your children around if they’re stuck in a negative thinking spiral.”
This is a tome of a book. It’s like interviewing a top-level specialist! It’s got great information, but I write books that overwhelmed parents can immediately use, and I have some suggestions:
First of all, look at the table of contents. See how it only mentions one level down in the chapters? Well that’s not true. The material goes down several levels Because of this, you might want to copy down the sections you like on an index card so that you can remember them.
Each of the chapters has really valuable information. Again, you might want to take a piece of paper and write down three things from each chapter that you’re going to try. Then in two months, do it again, selecting three different actions.
I offer these suggestions because I bought the book and despite the fact that I kind of do this for a living, it was kind of too much for me. Parents who are overwhelmed with emotions and situations don’t always have time to read 300-plus pages, but TRY. Even if you just take one idea from each section, this book has wonderful content
