Why Smart Kids Worry: And What Parents Can Do to Help Free Audiobook Download by Allison Edwards
This is a compelling audiobook for parents and teachers. It's about the emotional, social and learning struggles that smart kids face in school. Edwards does a great job of telling parents that it's not their children's problem; they're not failing because there's something wrong with them--there are real issues at play. One of the most valuable things she tells them is to be aware of who your child spends time with outside of school hours and what they do when they're not having learning challenges.
It’s not that smart kids worry too much, but they worry more than their parents do. Parents may be worried about their children, but they’re just not the one who has to deal with all of it. Allyson Ryan is a clinical psychologist who specializes in helping parents and children using evidence-based approaches.
Many parents feel that their children are too "smart" and they worry excessively. However, excessive worry is actually the cause of many mental health issues in kids including anxiety, depression, and more.
There is so much to worry about, from bullying to social media to family friendliness, but parents often neglect their own children. Gregory K. College Station, TX-Today two-thirds of kids are diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and it doesn't seem like that's likely to change. More than half of the symptoms associated with ADHD will continue into adulthood. In addition, many children have one or more co-occurring conditions such as anxiety and depression, which are contributing factors in the increase in cases of ADHD diagnoses
Like many parents these days, Allison Edwards understands why it's hard for her children to concentrate. They're getting bombarded with more information than ever before and their brains just aren't the same as they used to be. It's not until she gets a call from her daughter's teacher that she realizes other parents may be experiencing similar concerns.
Allison Edwards is a new mom and in her book, she shares all of the struggles that come with being a new parent. She explains that just because your child might have higher intelligence doesn't mean they don't worry like you would expect them to. Linda has chosen not to read it out loud to me, but I can imagine how she might sound from reading excerpts from the book. I know what it's like to be struggling as a mother, so I am very sympathetic towards Allison.
