Product Description
Many children are challenged by anxiety at some time in their school career. Bringing together knowledge from her years of teaching and parenting, Marianna Csoti shows how parents and professionals can help children aged five to sixteen move away from the negative thoughts and behaviour that contribute to school phobia. As well as tackling specific problems of bullying, separation anxiety, social phobia and panic attacks, the author provides information on current therapies and medication for the severely affected and on what to do if the child regresses. The advice can also be used to help guard against another sibling developing school phobia. This positive and practical book is packed with information and guidance for parents, carers, teachers and other child-support professionals, on dealing effectively with the difficulties of children whose lives are being adversely affected by this distressing and very real condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for Parents and Proffessionals., 2 Aug 2005
I am an Education Social Work student as well as a mother of two, and I myself was shy and afraid of school as a child. Whilst researching the topic of school phobia for my course I came across a variety of material relating to the subject, but found that the book "school phobia, panic attacks and anxiety in children - by Marianna Csoti" was the most useful resource in terms of giving parents real and practical advice on how best to deal with the problem.

This book is layed out in an easy to read format and outlines all the main topics relating to school phobia. It provides a very real and very human approach to treating school anxiety and phobia and certainly increased my understanding of the subject immensely. Not only does it empower parents to take an active role in their child's recovery it also gives social workers, teachers, and other proffessionals, a very real insight into some of the hurdles that parents and children must overcome.

I highly recommend this book to anyone working with young people in schools and especially to parents who want to really understand all aspects of school phobia and how to make their children's journey through school a little easier.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for parents, maybe not so much for students, 8 April 2008
By Simon F (Dublin) - See all my reviews
I acquired this book while writing my thesis on School Refusal, and feel that the title would benefit from a subheading to the effect of "A practical guide for parents". The informal tone and lack of academic references (notable exception being the section on bullying) result in a paucity of information that can be applied effectively to academic writing, etc. That said, for parents dealing with this serious problem, I am sure it would be extremely useful. I think students would be better off with something like "Understanding School Refusal" by Thambirajah et al., which is also published by Jessica Kingsley.
