5.0 out of 5 stars A must buy for anyone working with anxious children, May 3, 2003

Dr. Wagner's expertise comes alive in this practical guidebook for anyone who is trying to help an anxious child get up and over the "worry hill." The techniques are incredibly empowering for children of all ages and I have successfully used her step-by-step guidelines and easy to use forms. The children have really enjoyed the approaches and it has been a moving experience to watch them overcome their worse fears. I highly highly recommend this workbook and you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Resource, January 16, 2005

By	Martha Spital (New York, New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

WORRIED NO MORE by Dr. Aureen Pinto Wagner is a very comprehensive and readable book designed to help parents, school personnel and mental health professionals work with anxious children and adolescents. This scientifically sound book is informative, practical and easy to use. Dr. Wagner's understanding of and empathy towards anxious children come alive in the pages. She provides specific strategies as well as forms and tools for decreasing and managing anxiety. I have found these strategies to be highly effective. I often use her forms and tools when I treat anxious youth (and adults). I highly recommend this book to mental health professionals, school personnel and parents of anxious children.
