Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ★★★★★ "A must read for anyone who wants to help a child overcome their fear of dogs." - Amazon Customer ★★★★★ "Amazing step by step guide!" T. _________________ Based on decades of experience as a therapist, parenting coach and mother of a child who was afraid of dogs, I developed the Overcoming Fear of Dogs (OFOD) protocol. This is a step-by-step guide for parents (therapists will find it helpful as well) based on exposure therapy using a live dog. ◆ This book provides an easy to understand tool for parents to help their child overcome the fear of dogs. By using exposure therapy and my specifically designed exercises, parents will gradually increase their child's exposure to a real dog and thereby decrease their child's fear and resistance. This book helps parents understand how and why their child is afraid of dogs and most importantly how to help their child face the fear and overcome it. ◆ When a child has a strong fear of dogs it is important to address this fear as soon as possible. There is much to gain when children are able to overcome their fears. They develop self-confidence and self-esteem and feel empowered. Children who face their fears learn coping skills and self-control, two of the biggest predictors of success later in life. In addition, they learn to speak up and ask for help. ◆ By using the method in this book children will become more aware of their feelings and learn to express them clearly. • Mindfulness and relaxation exercises are included in the book to help this develop. • Anxiety and fear create the feeling of being out of control. ◆ My method helps kids feel in control and ""take back the leash"" when interacting with dogs. Most children do not outgrow this fear and they need to have supervised brief and positive experiences with dogs in order to feel safe and in control when interacting with them. Dogs are everywhere these days and it is impossible to avoid them. Kids who are afraid of dogs suffer socially and emotionally. They avoid sleepovers and play dates where a dog is in residence. They often refuse to go to a park in case they might encounter a dog. Some children will even endanger themselves by running into the street to avoid a dog. Children are afraid of things they don't understand and this book provides education for parents and children about dogs. The book includes information on how dogs communicate as well as how to ""read"" dogs and know when it is safe to interact with them and when it is best to stay away. ◆ My ultimate goal is to enable children to feel comfortable around dogs so their lives aren't disrupted by the fear of them. While the book is designed for parents of children aged 5-12 my method can be used with older children and adults.

In Freeing Your Child From Anxiety, a childhood anxiety disorder specialist examines all manifestations of childhood fears, including social anxiety, Tourette’s Syndrome, hair-pulling, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and guides you through a proven program to help your child back to emotional safety. No child is immune from the effects of stress in today’s media-saturated society. Fortunately, anxiety disorders are treatable. By following these simple solutions, parents can prevent their children from needlessly suffering today—and tomorrow. www.broadwaybooks.com From the Trade Paperback edition.
Book Synopsis Overcoming Animal and Insect Phobias by : Martin Antony
Download or read book Overcoming Animal and Insect Phobias written by Martin Antony and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2005-06-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the makers of blockbuster movies like The Birds, Jaws and Arachnophobia well know, animal fears are the most commonly reported phobias. Some 6 percent of Americans suffer from diagnosable animal phobia at any given time, and 11 percent will experience an episode at some time in their lives. Nearly three quarters of animal phobia sufferers are women, and most symptoms of animal phobia come on in childhood. Since most people with animal phobias experience panic attacks when they encounter certain animals, these fears can cause victims to lose significant quality of life. Fortunately, specific phobias are among the most responsive of anxiety disorders to behavior therapy, the research-proven treatment adapted for self-help readers in this book. Readers first learn about their phobia, where it comes from, what factors influence it, and how best to prepare for treatment. Then they learn to confront and overcome their animal and insect phobia. These techniques are effective and fast. The book includes information about avoiding relapse and helping someone else who suffers from an animal phobia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many children are afraid of dogs. The fear can range from mild to debilitating. The fear of dogs is also known as cynophobia and is often misunderstood. It does not usually get better without some intervention. When a child has a strong fear of dogs, it is important to address this fear as soon as possible. If your child is afraid of dogs, you know firsthand how much this fear can interfere with social and emotional development and everyday activities. They avoid sleepovers and play dates where a dog is in residence. They often refuse to go to a park in case they might encounter a dog. Some children will even endanger themselves by running into the street to avoid a dog. Facing the fear of dogs is ultimately easier than living with the fear. There is much to gain when children are able to overcome their fears. They develop self-confidence, self-esteem, and feel empowered. Children who face their fears learn coping skills and self-control, two of the biggest predictors of success later in life. In addition, they learn to speak up and ask for help. Based on decades of experience as a licensed psychotherapist, parenting coach, and mother of a child who was afraid of dogs, I developed an expertise in helping people of all ages overcome their fear of dogs. How to Face My Fear of Dogs provides a kid-friendly vehicle for kids to explore their fear of dogs and to find ways to feel safer with them. This book can be used on its own, but is designed to be a companion to my previous book Overcoming Your Child’s Fear of Dogs: A Step-by-Step Guide for Parents. The book includes colorful and easy to understand informational graphics as well as many interactive opportunities for kids to personalize their bravery journey. Used together, these books replicate what I might do if I was working with you and your child directly. This guide can be used by children of all ages. Parental support is recommended up to Grade 3. The activities and information in the book will help your child: Recognize and understand more about how they became afraid of dogs. Identify and understand the emotional and physical feelings that accompany their fear of dogs. Use coping mechanisms for their anxiety, such as mindfulness and breathing exercises. Learn different ways to face the fear of dogs and feel brave and empowered. Learn about dogs and some important ways to stay safe with them. My ultimate goal is to enable children to feel comfortable around dogs so their lives aren’t disrupted by their fear. This activity guide provides an easy and fun way to begin the journey of feeling safe with dogs.

This book is dedicated to my 31⁄2-year-old daughter Nika, who courageously overcame her fear of dogs. From the very day she was born, Nika grew up with a family dog at home. So, you're probably wondering, how her fear of dogs developed? It all started when we were walking in our neighborhood with our dog: a big dog that wasn't on a leash attacked our dog. Nika witnessed this scene and from that day, she refused to go back outside. Her fear grew deeper and deeper. We decided to take her to a special therapist, someone who could teach her how to deal with her fear. After a few sessions, Nika's confidence started to come back, as she learnt about a variety of tools and techniques to help her deal with her fear. One of those tools was knowledge. It was that knowledge that inspired me to write this book. This book was created so that you too can teach the 'Dogs Behavior Knowledge Tool' to your children in a fun and enjoyable way. I hope you enjoy it. "Good book on teaching your children how not to fear dogs." (~Elizabeth) "Valuable Lessons About Dogs Behavior" (~M. McDonald) This Children's book is also great for early readers and is a great tool for how to overcome fear of dogs. Pick up your copy today!

Download or read book The Other End of the Leash written by Patricia McConnell, Ph.D. and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2009-02-19 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
