Sacado de la Nota para los padres: Si es padre o cuidador de un niño con ansiedad, sabe lo que se siente ser un rehén. Su hijo también lo sabe. Los niños que se preocupan demasiado son prisioneros de sus miedos. Hacen todo lo posible por evitar situaciones que les causan miedo y hacen las mismas preguntas de ansiedad una y otra vez. Sin embargo, las respuestas no les dan prácticamente ningún alivio. Los padres y cuidadores pasan mucho tiempo tranquilizando, persuadiendo, acomodando y haciendo cualquier otra cosa que se les ocurra para minimizar la angustia de su hijo. Pero no funciona. La ansiedad sigue teniendo el control. Como indudablemente ha descubierto, decir simplemente a un niño ansioso que deje de preocuparse no ayuda en absoluto. Tampoco ayuda aplicar lógica de adultos, ni permitir que su hijo evite las situaciones temidas, ni consolándolo cada vez que exprese sus temores.

The non-specific term "bad thing" is used throughout, keeping this a flexible tool, and so children are never inadvertently exposed to events their parents have chosen not to share.
