Can anyone recommend books about coping with anxiety, for parent and/or child?

I've seen something on MN before but no luck with searches.

DS is almost 9 and has now developed a tic, he's such an anxious little man and I so want to help him. Have considered asking GP but DP is reluctant to medicalise, and I see his point to an extent.

Any experience anyone?

Yes, there is a book called Overcoming Your Childs Fears And Worries, by Cathy Cresswell and Lucy Willetts. Also have you read The Highly Sensitive Child, by Elaine Aron? I found them both helpful.It might be worth trying some of the flower essence remedies, or even homeopathy.

Thanks Debris.
