amp ldquo Lavallee and Schneider bring together their collective wisdom in this interactive self-help book for parents and their young children who have separation concerns and anxiety. Separation anxiety prevents many children from enjoying their friends, families, and school. Using the metaphor of flying in a hot air balloon and based on their lifelong clinical research, they provide specific exercises and strategies based on established cognitive-behavioral principles for helping children overcome excessive separation anxiety. It clearly explains-in an engaging story format-the steps parents and children can take to overcome such anxieties and to lead a worry-free life. This is a practical amp lsquo what-to-do amp rsquo book that will benefit many parents and their children. It is a book that will be welcome not only by parents but by clinicians who are looking for such materials to provide families. amp rdquo -Thomas H. Ollendick, PhD, Director Child Study Center, Virginia Tech
