Description

According to the American Psychological Association, today's children and teenagers are anxious about many things. In addition to the stressors common to any generation--family issues, financial instability, pressure to perform in school or sports--these young people also worry about gun violence, social justice, the state of their divided nation, the fate of a warming planet, and much more. To top it off, recent global events and resulting restrictions have added significant stress even as they have stripped away support systems.For parents, teachers, counselors, and youth leaders longing to understand and help the young people in their lives, When Anxiety Roars unpacks the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors that influence anxiety in children and offers specific practical steps to take together to tame that anxiety. Integrating faith with best practices to reduce anxiety, it also teaches coping skills that will help children live more confidently today and into the future.

“What an encouragement to read this book of hope and of sound strategies that will help our anxious kids anchor in who God made them to be. Parents will find not only insights but also practical helps to apply to your situation. This is a resource I highly recommend.”
Gregory L. Jantz, PhD , founder of The Center: A Place of HOPE; author of forty books
“ When Anxiety Roars knocks it out of the park! For parents as well as professionals, this book provides a conceptual framework as well as practical, hands-on information and tools to assist children in maneuvering the landmines of anxiety. The emphasis of looking at the child separate from their anxiety is a wonderful reframe to help the child as well as the adult ‘tame the lion.’ This is one of the best resources on children and anxiety available on the market today!”
Lyn Grooters, LISW , therapist; prior social worker for thirty years, Des Moines Public Schools
“Holthaus is able to provide valuable guidance to parents regarding anxiety and emotions by explaining neurobiology that occurs at various developmental levels, and she connects with parents through applicable antidotes, scenarios, and explanations that are easy to understand through a biblical worldview. The education and coping skills she provides to parents who have a child struggling with anxiety are spot-on!”
Jana Vink, LISW, RPT-S , owner/clinician, Grace Counseling
“An easy-to-ready, very practical guide to help parents and loved ones know how to best identify the many facets of anxiety and how to best support children who are struggling. I appreciated this book’s concrete conversations and activities, and I only wish I could have read this ten years ago, when we had four children in our home—but it’s never too late! I highly recommend this to both parents and educators.”
Jil Nelson, elementary school principal; mom of four young adults
“With great clarity and care, When Anxiety Roars guides parents into a deeper understanding of the very real anxiety and worry our children hold. This book is a wealth of knowledge—a well-researched resource spanning ages and stages, helping us better understand how God has wired our children’s brains and bodies so that we might love them more fully. I’m sure to return to this book in the moments when I need the well-worn wisdom of another to help me walk with my children through the darkness, pointing them toward the One who never leaves nor forsakes us.”
Kayla Craig , author of To Light Their Way: A Collection of Prayers & Liturgies for Parents
“ When Anxiety Roars is a must-read for parents who see their child struggle with anxious thoughts and feelings. Holthaus helps parents deeply understand the nature of anxiety in children and provides meaningful instruction. Her approach empowers both the child and the parent.”
Tamara Rosier , PhD, author of Your Brain’s Not Broken

Dedication
This book is dedicated to all those endeavoring to “Start children off on the way they should go.” (Prov. 22:6). I pray the content of this book can affirm and assist you as you invest into the lives of children.
Acknowledgments
While this book contains one author’s name, it is actually a compilation created by many authors who have traversed through deserts, scaled mountains, and carefully picked their way through the deepest of valleys alongside me on my journey as both a parent and a therapist. I can’t identify and name each author, but all are important and I am grateful for the sacrifice, love, and investment each has made.
First and foremost, I am grateful for Jesus, who relentlessly and passionately pursued me from the moment I drew my first breath. His persistent love has changed my life and enabled me to risk venturing into the unknown and exploring who he created me to be instead of staying within the safety of what I could readily envision. I can’t imagine life without my kinsman redeemer, bridegroom, and friend.
Michelle and Michael, you patiently and graciously taught me how to be a parent and how to parent you. Your willingness to forgive and trust again when I failed you is a precious gift that I treasure. Michelle, you are a woman of deep compassion whose desire to care for and serve others uniquely reflects the heart of Jesus. I experience profound joy as I watch you chose to live life fully and refuse to shrink back into the illusion of safety within the shadows. Michael, your deep reservoir of strength intermingles with a kind and caring heart to create a beautiful mosaic. I am both awestruck and challenged by the ways you have navigated the valleys of your life and believe you will scale to heights you cannot possibly dream of.
Michael and Jeanne Hirsch, you coparent with me in many ways, and I am so grateful for your presence in my life and in the lives of my children. Thank you for the countless hours spent sharing life, sacrificially giving of yourselves, and just having fun together.
Suzanne Vogel, I am eternally grateful God brought you into my life and grateful for all the ways we have “mothered” together. You have relentlessly challenged me, boldly spoken truth to me, and passionately encouraged me as we have journeyed together. I look forward with anticipation to continuing the journey.
Don and Mary Orange, you lovingly opened your home and extended the precious gift of sharing life together. Our children spent many of their formative years together, and I learned so much about parenting from the two of you. Even though we now live states apart, I see the fruit of our time together in my life and in the lives of my children.
Cindy Peterson, Kathy Utterback, and Rita Schacherer, you have each been mentors and teachers along the way who have taken risks and invested in me personally and professionally. You modeled what it means to be a therapist who works with children. Thank you for all the ways you demonstrated so beautifully what being a therapist is truly about.
Andrea Doering, Lindsey Spoolstra, Erin Bartels, Olivia Peitsch, Sarah Traill, Eileen Hanson, Laura Klynstra, and everyone else at Baker Books involved in shepherding this book from conception to publication—you are amazing, and this book wouldn’t exist without you! I am indebted to each of you for seeing potential, tirelessly editing, creating the cover design, and molding this book into something truly able to help those who read it.
Meghan Hirsch, I am grateful for the hours you spent turning my cryptic annotations into appropriate documentation, correcting formatting errors, and pointing out sentences that made no sense. Your time has been invaluable!
Finally, I give my thanks to the parents and children who have sat in my office over the last twenty-seven years. You have been the teachers through whom I have learned what it is like to struggle with anxiety or be the parent of an anxious child. The time I spent walking with and learning from you formed me as a therapist. Thank you for allowing me to share in
