But I feel like I need to get my hands on anything that will help Alex. And the first book I read was completely useless. Basically the book attributed childhood anxiety to crappy parenting. It listed all the things that could lead to a child experiencing anxiety and depression. Lack of maternal bonding. Physical or emotional abuse. Divorce or violence in the home. Alcoholism. Etc. And I get that. It makes sense that a child living in any of those situations might be anxious.But what about my daughter? Who has a life so far from any of that. A little girl who has been loved a doted upon since birth. A healthy and beautiful child. Someone who essentially wants for nothing. How do you explain that? And more importantly, how can we help her?
So I found two other books at Borders today. I'll let you know if they are any better.
