Educator/College Counselor.......2007-08-23
Finally, a well thought out book for parents thinking about the college process! My favorite story is early in the book setting the tone for a great and helpful read. Early on, the author is clear that the process is out of control for many parents. As the Admissions Director for MIT, she makes it clear not to worry about college until it is time, rather than picking your preschool with intent to head to the IVYies....This book really tells us there is much more to learn on this road and truly this book is all about that journey in a healthier way!
Definitely worth the read.......2007-05-07
I found this book to be useful. The author had several suggestions that we had not thought of and facts we were not aware of. The whole college admissions process is way harder than when I went through it, and I would say, there is a lot of negative as far as I can see. Her book is encouraging that the process can be a positive one, if you can step out of the frenzy that most other kids and parents seem to be embroiled in. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars instead of 5 is because I felt there was some conflicting information between our school's college counselors and her and that's confusing.
Every parent of a high school junior should buy her book today........2007-05-04
Ms. Jones's advice on how the parents of high school juniors and seniors can reduce stress in the college admissions process is spot on.
I was lucky enough to receive Ms. Jones's advice when she spoke to a standing-room-only crowd at our Boston area high school. For those not so lucky, you can obtain the advice in her book, coauthored with pediatrician Kenneth R. Ginsburg.
Parents - and their children - will benefit from Jones's advice for two reasons: 1. Jones explains WHY current parents are so hyper about the admissions process (partly due to the fact that we parents are from the generation which mistakenly believes we can accomplish anything!) 2. And Jones gives practical advice on HOW each parent can reduce their child's stress in the admission process, including actions that can be easily implement right away.
Every parent of a high school junior or senior should buy her book today.
Less Stress, More Success: A New approach to Guiding Your Teen Through College Admissions and Beyond.......2007-02-13
Really grounded for both parents and teens. A must to read before any other books on college, including the guides to colleges. This gets you centered on what is important and aligns your values; then you can focus on the facts about colleges. A great duo.....a college admissions dean and a pediatrician....both care deeply about kids and speak to what they need.
One of two great books for stressed out parents.......2006-08-24
As parents who have seen many of our friends completely lose perspective as their kids apply to college, my wife and decided that we would not go down that road when our time came. Forget all the books that imply they will get your child into a "brand name" school. It's about discovering together a place where they can grow, and strenghtening your relationship as you launch them toward their future. In the name of sanity, I recommend this book (and also a great one our own pediatrician recommended, "Getting In Without Freaking Out.") Stop hovering -- start helping your kids by not imposing your agenda.

Concerned about the patterns of anxious behavior exhibited by your child? From simple, specific phobias to general anxiety, these problems can start early and cause tremendous stress for families. Your Anxious Child presents a thoroughly mapped-out program called COPE to deal effectively with anxiety when it starts. While this is a multistep program for fairly complicated mental health issues, information is presented simply, broken down into smaller steps and specific actions. (Plenty of real-life stories provide context, too.) The first step in the program is teaching kids methods of self-comfort, ranging from meditation and prayer to easy breathing exercises and biofeedback. The second is developing plans to relieve anxiety, focusing on improved communication and problem-solving skills. Since each plan will need to be as unique as your child, only a few concrete examples are given; but the directions for creating individualized plans are straightforward. The third step could be the most important: persist! Anxiety problems aren't solved overnight. Lastly, evaluate the program's success. What can be changed to increase effectiveness? This book's clear-cut approach can help parents and children wade through the difficulties of anxious behavior to get positive and long-lasting results. --Jill Lightner

Excellent Ideas and Information.......2005-05-17
I was reading this book at the same time as "Helping Your Anxious Child" by Sue Spence, Vanessa Cobham, Ann Wignall, and Ronald Rapee.
I quickly found myself preferring "Helping Your Anxious Child" to this one though this certainly had a lot of good information.
While this book certainly gave me a lot of insights into the nature of anxiety it seemed that some of the techniques would be much harder to implement than the approach of the other book.
Regarding relaxation techniques. This is approached in both books, but the best resource I have found for helping a young child learn relaxation techniques are the wonderful CD's by Lori Lite.
Her CD's "Indigo Dreams", "Indigo Ocean Dreams" and "Indigo Teen Dreams" are produced specifically with young children as well as teenagers in mind. They are guided meditations, affirmations, relaxation and visualization techniques that are truly suitable for kids and if you are in the same room as your kids you will benefit as well.
While the concepts contained in the above book are certainly excellent, these CD's by Ms. Lite make it considerably easier for children to relate to.
Plus they can be used to help your child sleep more soundly and can help them relax if they have bad dreams. They have very relaxing, healing music and wonderful narration that helps these wonderful stories gently lead children to a more peaceful state of mind and overall being.
Of course the material in this and the other book I mentioned are very important for dealing with the broad scope of anxiety and for knowing what tools may help. The CD's have provided an excellent and immediate safe haven for my own child as we work together on tackling the roots of her anxiety.
In fact my child was having some anxiety before school today and my wife drew a little picture of a spider and web (to represent Lori Lite's "affirmation web" which she learned from the CDs) and it helped my daughter to go to school and have a reminder throughout the day if ever she felt anxiety starting up.
Hard for the non-psychology expert to understand........2001-11-30
I found the advice impractical in the home setting. I would not recommend this book for parents or teachers. Perhaps those in the clinical setting would find it helpful.
A Must Read.......2000-04-03
For parents and concerned friends and relatives of anxious children, Dr. Dacey and Dr. Fiore have co-authored the definitive guide for dealing with anxious children. As a parent, and now a grandparent, I highly recommend this informative, reassuring and inspiring book.
A Wonderful Resource.......2000-03-18
This text finally provides tools and strategies that I can, as a parent, become an expert at using. I just wish the publisher would print more of them at a quicker pace so that my friends could pick up copies. Great book! -ms
An Excellent Guide.......2000-03-01
Although there are many texts which address anxiety in children, I found this book to be far and away the best available. Dr. Dacey and Dr. Fiore provide an excellent framework for parents who want to help their children. It can be difficult for parents to deal with these complicated issues, but Fiore and Dacey make everything clear and to the point. With a Masters Degree in Public Health I have reviewed several modalities of care for anxious children. This one is simply the best. I highly recommend this book to all parents, especially those with anxious children.

Here's a practical guide that shows parents how to recognize a child's anxieties, and offers specific advice on how to help a child within the context of the family and school environment--and when necessary, where to seek professional help.

A huge disappointment.................2005-01-25
I found the author's advice to be overly simplistic - may be fine for parents who are looking for the basics of behavior management, but not very helpful for kids with trickier issues that require more expertise. The author appears to have a behavioral approach to management which seems geared towards kids with subtle anxiety issues and minimal emotional problems. Some of her advice is along the lines of methodology we have used in the past which exacerbated my son's problems. She points out the behavior of a therapist who, supposedly out of frustration at his unmotivated client, made this reluctant child more anxious by forcing her to face her fears - this sounds like a rationalization for clearly inappropriate professional behavior that she suggests was triggered by a difficult client. Well, then what is the point of psychotherapy, if not to motivate the client through the continuously rational guidance and support of a professional. Further, the author uses moralistic terminology, such as 'stubborn', to describe children who are reluctant. I would not endorse the temper and tone of this book. She does at one point give some rather basic advice for helping children who cannot control their anxious behavior, which suggests to me that most of this book isn't really aimed for children with significant underlying anxiety problems, but rather for sensitive kids who often get labeled as difficult. The author seems to be suggesting that all these kids need is some structure and straightening out. Even so, I've read more empathetic and flexible books regarding spirited, quirky kids that seem to have a better handle on the underlying needs of kids.
The author does categorize dysfunctional thought patterns which could be helpful if you can get past the undertones of the book -that therapists can do no harm unless provoked by the child and family's dysfunction. Other books I've read do ask the family to take a look at certain patterns but the tone is more inviting to self-inspection because it is easier to foster a trusting relationship with a therapist who takes a less cut and dried behavioral approach.
There were tidbits that were useful in this book, but overall, a huge waste of my money.
Parenting an Anxious child.......2004-08-19
Parenting my anxious child is not only difficult but it has created even more stress for my entire family. The feelings of anxiety are contagious and it is a constant struggle to counteract that with calmness. Thank God I found this book. I recommend it to any parent that is looking for real answers and real solutions to helping your child. I have recently been introduced to an anxiety reducing CD called "Indigo Dreams". My son's teacher was using it as part of a lesson plan from the Children's Awareness Curriculum. The entire class was CALMING DOWN within minutes of listening to it. Now my child is learning techniques on how to manage his anxiety while I learn the "Keys to Parenting an Anxious Child"
Dr. M. Branches Out.......2003-02-16
I saw Dr. Manassis from about 1994-1997 at the the Hospital for Sick Children's Psychiatric Department in Toronto. She is widely regarded as a leading Canadian paediatric expert in Anxiety disorders. I am pleased to see that she has written this book. Her advice on childhood anxiety is valuable, and I am a living testament to her expertise and proficiency in her work. I wish Dr. Manassis great success for this book and recommend it to parents of anxious children everywhere.
Keys to Parenting your Anxious Child.......2000-10-19
This book provides a wealth of information for parents who want to help their children learn to overcome anxiety. It explains what anxiety is (and is not), how it affects each member of the family, how to cope, how to communicate effectively with your child, and how to stop undesirable behavior. It addresses the effects of certain parenting styles and how these styles can help or hinder progress toward better mental health. There is a chapter that discusses medications; if they are necessary and which ones are helpful. It also addresses how to communicate with others about your child's current situation (school, etc.) Most importantly, the principals taught in this book can be followed and applied easily. I am the parent of an anxious adolescent, and I found this book to be helpful, encouraging, and enlightening. I highly recommend this book.

I read this book when it first came out. It helped me to feel as if I was not alone. Some of the suggestions were implemented and were successful. Charting behavior in particular I found to be beneficial. An excellent read. Good advice for parents who are at there wits end. This is the book we have been waiting for.

Not what I expected.......2005-05-20
This book was not what I expected. I have read other books in the Don't Sweat series, and so far they have been great. That is, until I got to this one.
First, the title of the book should say "New Moms," because everything in the book is about pregnancy, birth, new babies, and toddlers. If I knew this, I wouldn't have purchased this. My children are 2 and 4.
Secondly, the book is pretty sporadic. For example, chapter 28 talks about finding out you are pregnant, and the previous chapter talks about getting to the hospital to give birth. The chapters prior, jump around subjects relating to pregnancy, new babies and toddlers. There seems to be no strategy to the order of chapters.
Skip this one. Try out other books in the Don't Sweat series.
Book Description
Peaceful prose and classic images of women in repose initiate the harried into the sweet secret of living well—the afternoon nap. Working mothers, career women and stay-at-home moms all need encouragement to care for their well-being and happiness with a few minutes of downtime. This lovely gift book not only tells them it's ok, but also shows them how even the shortest siesta can be filled with delights—scents, sounds, flavors, fabrics—that leave a woman refreshed and renewed.
This will be the first book to:
Show how to create a personal ritual for relaxation, including luxurious locations for napping and techniques for slowing down into rest
Involve all the senses for improved harmony in life, including aromatherapy, massage and meditation techniques, sounds such as fountains, chimes and music, tactile comforts such as sheets and blankets
Recommend affordable napping indulgences, including hot and iced soothing beverages, eye pillows and other comfort enhancers
Encourage women to adopt napping as a lifestyle habit, showing them how to organize their lives to accommodate a nap
Educate the harried that napping increases good health, for example, adequate sleep has been linked to longevity
Overcome guilt by providing valid reasons to nap
Like our French sisters, who enjoy a 35-hour work week, or in Spain, where a siesta is a must, we can come to enjoy, embrace and revel in a little lovely shut-eye.
Customer Reviews:
Perfect for my mom and other moms everywhere!.......2003-11-04
My mother does too much and never takes a break. My roommate suggested Permission to Nap and I think it is perfect for my mom for the holidays. In fact, I bought one for myself, my sisters, and my aunts, too. We all seem to be work-alcohics in one way or another and frequent luxurious naps--or simply fifteen minutes of downtime every day sounds just perfect for Christmas.
American Women go play! You have permission now!.......2003-09-21
Why do I always feel guilty when I take time to play? Play tennis, golf...I feel this book is long overdue. Women need to be able to play as much as the kids and men in our lives. I bought this book to get over my guilt and to be motivated to go play when I feel the pull of "other things that I think I should be doing." I saw an article about this book in Women's World and then again in Women's Health & Fitness and then knew at that time, this is a sign--I needed to buy this book and read it. Two weeks into my play and I am so glad I have this silent mentor to keep me playing!
I needed this book!.......2003-02-21
Hi! As a mom of three adorable but exhausting children, I needed permission to nap when they did. Thanks to this book, I have created my very own nap sanctuary filled with aromatherapy--neroli is now my new favorite essential oil--velvety pillows, and a water carafe and matching cup. With this author's recommendations (see chapter 8), I started my collection of soothing music CDs. The kids now know that it is a good thing to take a nap, especially when mom heads into her haven. (Everyone knows that when mom is happy, everyone is happy.) This is my new 'must buy' gift for all my friends who are busy moms like me or are on the career track. No matter what we do, women always do too much. I now make time for me--and self care every day is a must. Time for my siesta!
Starting my Christmas shopping early!!.......2002-08-19
This is the book that I am buying for my mom, my sisters, and all of my female friends who are workaholics, working mothers (same difference), domestic engineers with little ones at home, and those expecting--they all deserve a nap. -A totally appreciative fan.
Napping wisdom.......2002-07-12
It is a book as beautiful and relaxing to look through as it is to read. And it is not only for women, as men today also need reminders to restore ourselves! Jill thankfully reminds us busy people of the simplicity of napping.

Excellent Resource.......2007-01-02
Caring for Yourself While Caring for Your Aging Parents, Third Edition: How to Help, How to Survive is a super resource that covrs so many aspects of the aging process of one's parents. It handles many situations and instructs and advises appropriate steps to take.
It talks from many points of view. It deals with sibing issues and how to keep things reasonably fair even if oe sibling is not in the living area of the aging parent while one is nearby. It coers the only child's perspective. Most of all it illustrates proper and improper conduct. This gets you to think about your own situation and how to better handle it.
Most important of all, this wonderful resource has a Department of Aging Directory which will help get you started when you feel overwhelmed. It also makes the caregiver think deeply about his or her own future and being part of a loving environment.
This is certainly a resource you want to keep around during difficult times. It is definitely a difference maker.
Claire Berman Speaks to My Heart.......2004-03-01
Claire Berman's book speaks to my heart. As the child of an aging parent, I have come to realize that the difficulties I face as a caregiver are at least as much, if not more, emotional than physical. Her stories, whether directly related to my circumstances or not, address my raw emotions and help ease the pain.
Her personal style of writing is unusually apt for those who are a parent's caregiver. She addresses care for aging parents from the perspective of a person who has made her own mistakes and learned from them. She writes as a friend rather than an impersonal "expert." I recommend this book for anyone who faces this demanding task.

Great info for all types & ages of cargeivers.......2001-07-03
Claire Berman gives fabulous examples for all types of caregiver situations. The information is a valuable tool in handling a wide range of issues, from a parent's early needs, to full nursing care. The book aids caregivers with making medical and financial decisions for elderly parents and finding help in the community without jeopardizing your loved one's independence. In addition, it encourages the reader to find the right caregiver support group and keep a clear focus on your own family needs/priorities.
Very Helpful.......2001-06-16
A most helpful book for reminding yourself how much your elderly parents would not want to be a burden to you, if they were still in their right minds. Lots of advice to make caregiving easier, well written, easy to read. Another great book is "Elder Rage" , which solves the nightmare dealing with difficult elders.
a treasure trove of info no matter how old your parents are.......2000-03-02
Although my mother has some serious health problems, she's still in her fifties, so I hesitated at first to read this book. I thought there was no way it could be relevant to adults whose parents are ill but not elderly. I was wrong. This book was a godsend as my siblings and I scrambled around trying to figure out what we needed to do and how we could do it. I've referred to it again and again, not just for practical help with my mom's needs, but emotional support for myself. What a tremendous resource this book is.

A Parent's Pocket Guide to Sanity!.......2002-02-06
Over the course of a busy day, parents may find themselves in situations that they don't know how to handle. This is where stress plays a part - it's very easy to get caught up in the day's craziness. When parents reach this point, even the simplest ideas and solutions are easily forgotten.

This book is filled with stress-reducing ideas and solutions for situations involving children of all ages. The ideas in this book are easy enough to put to use, and they may just make you a less-stressed parent!

The book written for me: the stressed parent!.......2002-01-31
As a fulltime work-at-home mother of three (including one toddler), I have my fair share of stress -- kids, house, husband, pets, dinner, laundry -- you name it, I get stressed! I have previously enjoyed other versions of "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff" and was thrilled when I received a copy of "The Don't Sweat Guide For Parents: Reduce Stress and Enjoy Your Kids More"! I read this wonderful book in an evening because I couldn't put it down. Every section seemed to speak to me -- such as # 50: When Super Mom Feels Less Than Super. Did they know I would be reading this book?
This book, while small and compact, is a must for all parents. I think it is especially great to give to an expectant couple. It will give you lots of great advice, soothing thoughts, and superb strategies for coping with the up's and down's of parenting. I highly recommend!
