Monsters Under the Bed and Other Childhood Fears : Helping Your Child Overcome Anxieties, Fears, and Phobias

Rating:
Summary: Very generalized
Review: I bought this book to help deal with my 6 year old's nightmares. There wasn't really anything about that in the book. I thought the name implied the book would mostly be about bedtime fears but really it is a generalized book about 30 or so fears a child may have so it really didn't help me at all. There doesn't seem to be depth of analysis of any of the fears and I can't imagine the book would be useful to many people.
I don't necessarily think this is a "bad book", I just didn't find it helpful for me and don't see it really being helpful to most people, but if you just want a book with a little bit about a lot of fears, this would be a very good book for you.

Summary: It Really Helped!
Review: This book was a great help. The ideas are practical and easy to understand and follow. The author is sympathetic to both parents and children. He doesn't place blame, just tells how to get over the problem. Separating different fears into their own chapters made it especially easy to find what I was looking for.
