Montse Domènech spills out her forty years of experience dealing with teens and children in this book, to offer parents a simple and practical method to face the issue of childhood fears. This book is addressed to all the families with children of any age.
Other than the disorder they produce in children and their families, childhood fears are a natural feeling that helps build up the human mind, since they help children develop their imagination, they learn how to face their problems and protect themselves from danger.
These fears can turn into a real disorder for parents. Either because they don’t know how to solve them or because they interfere with the families coexistence, this problem is one of the reasons why, more and more, parents are looking for professional assistance.
The vaccine against fear offers an essential, practical and simple method for those parents to understand their children’s fears and to help them get over them. They have the solution to the most common fears in children and the ones Montse Domènech has treated during her professional career: night terror, nightmares, sleepwalking, fear of school, of swimming, of their parents separating, of burglars, doctors and many others.
Other than exploring these complicated states of mind, this book offers games and stories to read to the children before they go to bed, in order to turn this guide into an imagination “vaccine” that will keep the children’s fears away and will bring back their smile forever.
