Growing Up Brave

Donna Pincus’ Growing Up Brave: Expert Strategies for Helping Your Child Overcome Fear, Stress, and Anxiety is a practical and compassionate guide for parents navigating their child’s struggles with anxiety. Drawing from her expertise as a clinical psychologist, Pincus provides parents with evidence-based tools to help children manage fear and stress effectively. Her advice is rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, making it accessible and actionable for everyday use.

What sets the book apart is its focus on empowering both parents and children. Pincus offers a roadmap for identifying anxiety triggers and gently encouraging children to face their fears in manageable steps. She emphasises the importance of creating a supportive environment that fosters resilience and confidence while avoiding overprotection, which can sometimes worsen anxiety.

Her insights into family dynamics are especially valuable for parents looking to build stronger, more trusting relationships with their children.

Pincus includes relatable anecdotes, real-world examples, and simple exercises, ensuring readers can easily integrate her strategies into their daily routines. Her emphasis on normalising anxiety and teaching proactive skills helps children feel understood and capable of overcoming challenges.

With a focus on gradual growth, resilience, and fostering independence, Growing Up Brave offers a hopeful and encouraging perspective that can transform how families address anxiety together.
