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.
Parenting is different to the therapy room. This webinar isn't about how to become your child's therapist. It is about long term principles which you can use to guide your parenting of your anxious child, to help both you and them grow in confidence.
This course is suitable for parents and carers of children aged under 8.
It is suitable for children with and without a diagnosis
This course is available to watch for 12 months after purchase.

Some children and young people seem to withdraw from life. Their anxiety becomes so severe that anything which might have helped seemed to make things worse. They may find it hard to come out of the bedrooms or to leave the house. Parents are left not knowing what to do next. In this mini-course, Naomi will help you to think about severe anxiety through the lens of the nervous system. She’ll give you some practical ideas to help your child even if they don’t want to talk about how they are feeling.
