Dealing with Anxiety in Children - Parental Guide
In my practice as a child psychologist and psychotherapist the number of children with worries (anxiety) that interrupt their everyday life has increased and children as young as 3 years of age have attended my clinic.
Anxiety can be very paralysing and can affect the way we feel, think and act. If this is not managed it can lead to conditions such as panic attacks, phobias, depression, aggression and OCD.

A little bit of anxiety can be useful and necessary, for example in sport, public performance or exams. In these situations the body secrets the hormone Adrenaline as there is mild stress. The body is preparing itself. As human beings when we feel under threat we have various responses, the 5 F’s: fight, flight, freeze, flop or friend. However, if the physical symptoms are not relieved and the threat is persistent anxiety builds up and can lead to a vicious cycle. When this cycle becomes fixated and stuck the child’s anxiety has become out of control and needs professional intervention.
Parents in my experience often notice their child is worried but don’t really know how to approach the subject. Talking about anxiety is not easy. Children often say they cannot find the words or feel no one will understand - that is because anxiety feels abstract - you can’t see it but can feel it. Feelings are difficult to articulate.
This Webinar will provide parents with the necessary information and strategies to help their child deal with anxiety effectively. The webinar will be recorded and available for attendees to view after the live event.
