Most advice for the parents of an anxious teenager asks you to do something impossible: persuade a teenager to cooperate. I start somewhere else. The research is consistent that when parents change their own responses, anxious teens improve, including the ones who refuse every offer of help.

So these are workbooks about your half of the interaction, in fill-in form, with observation logs, scripts and week-by-week plans. Nothing in them requires your teenager's permission.
