Worried All The Time

Worried All The Time - David Anderegg Ph. D

As a parent, I find myself constantly worrying “Am I doing enough for my child? Am I expecting too much? Am I expecting to little? Am I doing this correctly?” etc, etc, etc. I’ve always been a worrier. Whether those around me have realized it or not, it’s been a constant in my life, for good or for bad, but mostly for bad.

Reading this book was a search for some relief from constant parental worrying on my part. To a certain extent it’s been helpful, since it isn’t filled with the platitudes you’ll find in 99% of the parenting books out there. It deals with straight facts about children, schools, violence, and the myriad other things a sophomore parent worries about. Therefore, it’s a little dry. However, to a logic programmer like myself, it’s a decent “slap upside the head” when my restless mind starts to exaggerate things. I highly recommend it for every nervous parent.
