Someone recently recommended the book "The optimistic child" for me to read in relation to my daughter and son. It may not be helpful in dealing with your son's anxiety - but it might, depending on the source of it.
The general idea of the book is that we can teach kids to be more optimistic and thus reduce the stress on themselves and increase their chances of happiness in life.
I have found it useful and identified many types of 'self talk' that my kids do that has been unproductive - and ideas on how to help them rephrase things to be more encouraging to themselves.
