Do fears, excessive worries and anxiety prevent your child from living what should be the best and most carefree years of their life?

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just flip a switch and make his or her shyness disappear?

Have the various strategies that you have used been useless, leaving you with the feeling that you have missed something?

I recommend that you read and have your child read this manual if, in the past three months, he has been overwhelmed by:

 • Nervousness and irritability: adolescents may feel nervous or angry for no reason.
 • Sleep disturbances: difficulty falling asleep, interrupted or shallow sleep or early awakening or, conversely, hypersomnia, or the need to sleep more than necessary.
 • Outbursts of anger: sometimes girls or boys, even quiet or introverted ones, may have outbursts of anger or fits of tears for no apparent reason.
 • Distractibility, loss of contact with the outside world: sometimes, some adolescents are so caught up in their malaise that they appear extremely disoriented or detached from reality.
 • Depressed mood, negativity, pessimism and low self-esteem.
 • Physical symptoms: anxiety in adolescence often manifests itself mainly through the body. Headache, stomach pain, abdominal pain, chest pain, diarrhoea, muscle aches and the need to urinate frequently are just some of the most common somatic symptoms.

Unlike other publications, this book isn't just for teens. Anyone can use it. And it doesn't read like a college course, it'll let you know what's going on in a teenager's head.

In reality, there is no aspect of your life in which this workbook is not helpful. So why let shyness and anxiety rule your life any more?
