Is anxiety making your child's life a misery - causing problems at school, difficulties in making friends or facing new experiences, even affecting their physical health? Anxiety is a curse that can cast a damning spell over your child's life. But there is a solution. Chronic anxiety is a serious problem which may be general, or a specific anxiety about taking exams or doing sums, or a phobia about anything from trains or spiders to eating in public or going to the toilet. It can be treated successfully, and David Lewis offers practical and effective advice to parents of anxious children. By applying this straightforward advice and by being positive, patient and persistent you can banish anxiety and transform your child into a happy, confident person.

—— Angels and Urchins MagazineBased on hundreds of interviews with parents, psychologists and teachers, the book highlights some solutions for bad sibling behaviour that will really make a difference.
—— Right Start MagazineInstead of prescriptive dos and don’ts to stop the little darlings from murdering each other, the authors suggest roles to suit different situations.
—— Families MagazineThanks for the advice. I will definitely try these techniques.
—— Rosy Bennett, AskAMum.co.ukWith wit punctuating lambent nostalgia, Erica Heller brings her father to life in an animated, absorbing fashion, documenting his quirky habits, celebrity, and "invisible, unfathomable inner cycle," but also her parents' divorce and Heller's suffering with Guillain-Barre syndrome. The total effect is akin to leafing through a bulging family scrapbook where one finds a few blurry images among many snapshots in sharp focus. Erica Heller has inherited her father's finely tuned flair with words
—— Publishers WeeklyIntimate, yet well-researched..comedic and poignant, her many-faceted memoir is rendered in high-definition as Heller recounts meals, travels, parties, arguments, lies, and the serious illnesses that afflicted her and her parents. Writing with wit, compassion, aplomb, and no little wonder at what her father wrought and her mother endured and how this legacy shaped her, Heller presents an involving and invaluable work of personal and cultural history.
—— BooklistHeller's family memoir brims with warm reflections right from the opening chapters... An affectionate family scrapbook crafted with a bittersweet blend of humor and pathos
—— Kirkus ReviewsErica Heller to me is like a Carrie Fisher on the East Coast. She is as authentic as they come
—— Richard Lewis, comedian, actor, authorErica Heller has a story to tell and I for one am eager to see it in print. I think this is going to be one hell(er) of a memoir
—— Christopher Buckley, author of Losing Mum and PupThe New York of the period leaps off the page
—— Emma Hagestadt , IndependentHeller's domestic side is evoked with painful detail by his daughter, Erica, in her well written, occasionally harrowing memoir, Yossarian Slept Here
—— Sunday TimesLikeable memoir...just as Daugherty is blind to the limitations of Heller's work so he appears resistant to personal criticism of Heller or rebuke. Just One Catch is no hagiography but, of these two biographical accounts on Yossarian Slept Here gives us the gruff, arrogant big shot; the smug cocky fellow who sometimes showed up to friend's cocktail parties for the sheer fun of insulting them
