The Anxious Child

3

My name is George-Ann Bains and my husband Paul Bains and I wrote this book together to help other parents help their children come to terms with their anxiety. The book is intended for ages 3 to 8. Before my book became published, I wrote the story for my daughter. My daughter was asking me what was wrong with her and telling her nothing is wrong wasn't adequate enough. She knew that something was not right. I consulted with a psychologist and read many books and wrote her a story. It was amazing how knowing what anxiety was and how to relax made such a difference for her, that I decided to publish the book for other moms and dads going through the same experience.

To date my book is in Odin Books in Vancouver BC and Black Bond Books in the Lower Mainland. You can purchase my book online and will be available as an ebook in May. I have donated books to all Children's Hospitals across Canada and have the book in schools in the Lower Mainland, Toronto and Halifax. I am thankful for all the positive feedback and look forward to sharing my experiences with anxiety with you through my new magazine The Anxious Child.
