Anxiety is defined as a feeling of extreme fear, nervousness,
uneasiness or worry of impending doom, or an event of undetermined
outcome. However, anxiety is not always a pathological process. The
same feeling occurs naturally in association with an intense desire
to do something. Every child or teenager experiences some degree of
anxiety as part of their normal social and emotional development.
Anxiety only becomes a problem when it is prolonged and starts to
interfere with the normal expected daily activities of the child or
teenager. Normal anxiety responds to comfort and reassurance; this
is not true with clinical anxiety. This book is dedicated to all of
those parents who have suffered through temper tantrums, mood
swings, shouting matches, pouting, and arguments with their
children. You have not failed if your child is depressed or
anxious. You have just been given a challenge to create an
environment which will help your child conquer this anxiety and
grow into healthy adults.
The treatment modalities for pre-teen and teenager depression
require a multi-factorial approach. Cognitive-behavioral therapy in
combination with pharmacotherapy is the main-stay treatment option
commonly used today for treating depression. While these drugs are
effective in treating depression, careful monitoring of the dosage
is extremely important, especially in young children. Holistic
therapy can be effective in treating "normal depression" and might
include: proper diet, exercise, supplements, emotional expression
through acting, singing, and writing, etc. Parents and siblings of
depressed children play a very important role in helping these
relatives deal with their depression. They need support, concern,
care, attention, and reassurance as well as comfort from close
family. Depression can occur in a familial pattern causing a string
of depressed children and parents in the family. This may be
disastrous, and the services of a family mental health professional
and perhaps psychiatrist may be needed. Depression is treatable The
first step is to recognize it. Then develop an "action plan" which
includes a professional assessment, if necessary. The best thing a
parent can do for their child is to provide a safe environment to
get them to talk about their feelings. Never underplay a child's
sadness.

Everyone of us has had a day, a moment or perhaps even a lifetime
of being critical of ourselves over something. Perhaps it was or is
our nose that we don't like. Our height? Our weight? Our parents?
Our grades? Our voice? Our clothes? Our lack of athletic talent?
Our neighborhood? It just seems to be human nature to be critical
of ourselves. This self-criticism coupled with the criticism that
exists all around us at school, in the world, and at home can mold
us into individuals with low self-esteem. While we occasionally see
in the news where people are afraid there may be too much falsely
inflated self-esteem in children today, there definitely needs to
be more focus on those children and teens with low self-esteem.
This book gives you a view of the many causes of self-esteem
problems, the ways we can treat this complex issue, and the
possible results of poor self-esteem left untreated. If you apply
the skills learned in this book to your family life, with all of
your children and even yourself, you will see amazing changes. Low
Self-Esteem does not have to continue, if you have the tools to
treat it. This book will open your eyes and hearts to what we need
to do to help our children and ourselves with this difficult
problem.

pulling away from you and the rest of the family? This is the book
you need to read to understand the powerful dynamic of Drug and
Alcohol Abuse in young adults. It is very important to stop drug
and alcohol use in your children before it develops into the abuse
stage. If you or your parents have suffered from any addictions,
then there is a great chance your child will too. Learn about
Interventions. Learn about Prevention Methods. Learn about
Treatment Methods. Learn how to be a better Parent. This is a must
have book filled with Resources and Knowledge to arm yourself to
deal with Drugs and Alcohol in Teens and Pre-Teens.
****A valuable addition to your library of Creative Healing books
from Dr T's Living Well Series.**** A Guided Imagery is a process
where someone is led by a facilitator, or a CD, or cassette or
audio file to relax and actually slow down their brain waves. The
goal is to get into the "Alpha Brain Wave State," as that is where
we are most suggestible and where healing often has an easier time
to take place. This book teaches you the basics of Guided Imagery,
while offering many scripts for you to follow to help achieve
something wonderful in your life. You will also learn the power of
Affirmations in your life and in a Guided Imagery. The primary
benefit of Guided Imagery is relaxation and peace of mind. Guided
Imagery also helps release limiting thoughts and emotions, raises
self-esteem, helps us set and meet our goals, helps us gain clarity
in our thinking, and enhances physical healing. By learning how to
use Guided Imagery, we harness the imagination. We can put the
power of the imagination to practical use and begin to have more
control over what we attract into our lives. ***To begin creating
more health, happiness, harmony, and prosperity in your life,
practice the principles of this Book on the Creative Power of
Guided Imagery.
Sexuality is one of the most important and defining aspects of our
lives. The human experience of sexuality not only involves the aim
of procreation, but has several other functions as well. Sexuality
can strengthen and deepen a relationship; can serve as a method to
relieve tension; is widely seen as a way of self-expression; and
not to minimize it, it is usually a joyful activity. Humans have a
far more complex sexuality than any other species. This kind of
complexity broadens the opportunities to have more fun and derive
more pleasure from sexual activities, but it is also a source of
problems associated with desires, wishes and actions associated
with sex. In this book, we examine a less positive aspect of human
sexuality; the sexual problems, pain, and confusion of teenagers.
This age is traditionally the time for building identity in human
development, and sexuality is seen as an integral part of this
process. Although the available sources of information seem to be
almost infinite, finding the appropriate way for any individual is
probably harder than ever. In this book you will find some
interesting input from men and women who have suffered and/endured
the process of sexual confusion and share their stories. There is
no need for any teenager to feel alone and isolated in today's
technological and socially connected world. So while there may be
pain in adolescence, there is hope and wisdom from your peers and
your elders readily available to you.
This book is for all of the exhausted and frustrated parents,
relatives, and educators dealing with the behaviors that just
absolutely don't make sense to you....How can this child not follow
these simple directions? How can this child not learn this easy
task? Why can't my child do chores or clean his room? This book is
for you who have asked those questions and hundreds more. What
exactly is ADHD? Is it contagious? Can it be fixed? Read on to
learn how ADHD is diagnosed, and treated in the most effective
ways. There is hope in these pages, and you do actually have the
ability to survive a child with ADHD, and both of you grow.
Approximately 4.4 million children, between the ages of 4 and 17,
have been diagnosed with ADHD in the United States. ADHD is the
abbreviation of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and is on
of the most common psychiatric disorders among children. The major
groups of symptoms are: 1) Impulsivity, 2) Inattention, and 3)
Hyperactivity. This book describes these symptoms at great length.
It also tells how the negative results of the symptoms are usually
poor scholastic achievement, impaired emotional development, and
impaired relationship skills. Treatment of this disorder is
multi-factorial, often using medication and behavioral therapy.
Without treatment however, most children with ADHD will have
trouble adapting throughout their lives. Justin Timberlake, and
other famous people listed at the end of this book have managed to
overcome the negative effects of ADHD.
We live in a complex, fast-paced world with lots of demands placed
on us everyday. We often forget that our children are also faced
with lots of demands everyday and live in this same fast-paced,
complex world. This book explains why, as adults, and as parents,
we should be paying closer attention to our children's behavior.
Many Teens and Pre-Teens are displaying symptoms of Anger, and we
aren't aware of it. This book is your eye-opener If your child
isolates, screams at you, hides, cuts himself, has poor scholastic
results, fights with other children, is demanding, or has suffered
traumas or losses, then this book will help you. This book states
in clear, concise fashion the causes and symptoms of anger in
children. It also explains how this anger untreated can cause
health and mental health problems, as well as scholastic and
relationship problems. As you read this book you should be able to
use this information to get a sense of hope and control back in
your life. This can only be done by developing an "Action Plan"
using the information contained in this book to aggressively deal
with your child's behavior. The various types of professional help,
including various medications are also included in this book, as
these interventions are often necessary.
Our children need our guidance in almost every aspect of their
lives, but we are often too busy or tired to notice subtle changes
in them. Weight problems and Obesity are fast becoming a national
epidemic in the Western world, and yet our children are leading
more sedentary lives, due to the increase in technology. Some
schools have cut physical education and health classes, so this
leaves it to parents to educate their children about food, and
exercise. Most people don't know that Obesity untreated leads to
serious health and mental health issues. Another interesting fact
is that untreated health or mental health issues can lead to
obesity. This book addresses both of those facts. This book points
out, clearly and concisely, the many causes of obesity, the
possible health and mental health problems associated with obesity,
and the professional help that is available. It also clearly points
out that overweight children are often impaired socially,
emotionally, and academically. When you finish this book, you
should be able to start an "action plan" in your family to help
interrupt the shame and heartbreak of obesity.
