Helping Your Child with Anxiety (under 8s)

An increasing number of children are anxious and their parents are stuck. They don't know how to respond so as not to make things worse. Many of the suggestions they are given feel counter-intuitive and are hard to do at home.

In this practical and engaging course, Dr Naomi Fisher, clinical psychologist, will help you understand the developmental changes of early childhood. She'll show you how anxiety works, and how parents can make a difference. You'll understand your child better, and therefore be better able to help.
