Being the parent of a smart child is great - until your son or daughter starts asking whether global warming is real, if you are going to die, and what will happen if they don't get into college. Kids who are advanced intellectually often let their imaginations run wild and experience fears beyond their years. So what can you do to help?

In Why Smart Kids Worry, Allison Edwards guides you through the mental and emotional process of where your child's fears come from and why they are so hard to move past. Edwards focuses on how to parent a child who is both smart and anxious and brings her years of experience as a therapist to give you the answers to questions such as:

How do smart kids think differently?
Should I let my child watch the nightly news on TV?
How do I answer questions about terrorists, hurricanes, and other scary subjects?

Edwards's 15 specially designed tools for helping smart kids manage their fears will help you and your child work together to help him or her to become more relaxed and worry-free.

A gem of a book

Reviewed in Australia on 6 December 2013

I was given an advanced cope of this book to read and review and I have to say this is one of the best books on managing anxiety for children that I have read. Whilst the title and the first chapter gives the impression that the whole book is only about anxiety in highly intelligent children, this is not the case. The author gives examples on the differences between how most children will worry compared with the same situation for gifted children. The situations and the techniques are for both. Most of the techniques are known to me, but there were a few new ones (makes it all worthwhile). As a psychologist who works with children, I can honestly say this will be one book I will be adding to my borrowing library for parents to read. I have already recommended it to several of the families I am currently working with. Well worth a read for parents as well as professionals.

This is an excellent resource and I can't recommend it highly enough. Our youngest child was extremely anxious and I am delighted to say that I can now use the past tense when talking about this. I was able to use several of the strategies recommended as I understood why they would be helpful and how to do it. I'm not suggesting that I think he'll never worry again, but when he does I feel like I have the tools to help him work through it now.
