This accessible guide offers a concise introduction to the science behind worry in children, summarizing research from across psychology to explore the role of worry in a range of circumstances, from everyday worries to those that can seriously impact children’s lives.

Covering topics including different definitions of worry, the influence of children’s development on worry, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in children, and the role parents play in children’s worry, this book offers a new model of worry in children with important implications for prevention and intervention strategies.
