Anthony Gunn is a father of two and a psychologist who specializes in treating anxiety and helping people step outside of their comfort zone. Gunn recognizes the great Catch 22 of parenting - the one that involves both supporting and assisting our children, while at the same time stepping back to allow them a chance to succeed or fail. This book looks at how parents can help their child overcome fears and phobias to become more confident and competent. Gunn highlights the valuable learning opportunities that arise from making mistakes and includes simple activities to show both child and parent that mistakes are normal. Tricky parenting issues such as coping with death, finding a balance between school, extra-curricular activities and down-time and discerning matters of taste over matters of principle are dealt with in a relaxed, common-sense way and in easily digestible chunks. So many of the situations on the book are relevant to both adults and children, making the lessons and skills learned valuable for life right now, and into the future.
