10 Steps to Reducing Your Child's Anxiety on the Autism Spectrum: The CBT-Based 'Fun with Feelings' Parent Manual
This manual is designed to help parents of children with autism aged 4-8 to support their children with emotional regulation and to decrease anxiety. This CBT-based programme is structured around 10 stages and is intended to be used with the activity book Having Fun with Feelings on the Autism Spectrum.
Young children with autism often find it difficult to understand and control their emotions. Recognising, expressing and understanding emotions helps young children make sense of their life experiences. Children diagnosed with autism can have significant difficulties recognising and processing emotions which can lead to high levels of anxiety as they struggle to make sense of the unpredictable world around them.
The 'Fun With Feelings' programme is designed by Dr Michelle Garnett and Dr Tony Attwood, Clinical Psychologists with considerable experience of working with people who have autism.
It aims to help parents support their children with emotional regulation and to decrease anxiety. This guide is structured around 10 stages.The initial four stages prepare parents to implement the programme with their child. These stages help parents understand the causes of anxiety and provide practical strategies for creating a toolbox to reduce anxiety. The final six stages are used in conjunction with Having Fun with Feelings on the Autism Spectrum: A CBT Activity Bookfor Kids Age 4-8, allowing parents to support their child while working through the activity book. Written by world-leading experts in the field, 10 Steps to Reducing Your Child's Anxiety on the Autism Spectrum provides the stepping stones for parents of young children with autism to better understand their child's emotional skill set and empower them to understand and articulate their feelings.
