“My son struggles with separation anxiety, so I was excited to read
this book with him. From the very first pages, he found the book
appealing.... Reading this book made him feel hopeful and
empowered. We both recommend it.” —Tulsa Book Review
“Lavallee and Schneider bring together their collective wisdom in
this interactive self-help book for parents and their young
children who have separation concerns and anxiety. Separation
anxiety prevents many children from enjoying their friends,
families, and school. Using the metaphor of flying in a hot air
balloon and based on their lifelong clinical research, they provide
specific exercises and strategies based on established
cognitive-behavioral principles for helping children overcome
excessive separation anxiety. It clearly explains—in an engaging
story format—the steps parents and children can take to overcome
such anxieties and to lead a worry-free life. This is a practical
‘what-to-do’ book that will benefit many parents and their
children. It is a book that will be welcome not only by parents but
by clinicians who are looking for such materials to provide
families.” —Thomas H. Ollendick, PhD, Director Child Study Center,
Virginia Tech
“What to Do When You Don’t Want to Be Apart offers a nonjudgmental
approach to getting a handle on kids’ separation anxiety with the
ultimate goal of leading a richer life.” —Midwest Book Review
