In my practice as a child psychologist and psychotherapist the number of children with Anxiety that interrupt their everyday life has increased and children as young as 3 years of age have attended my clinic. Anxiety in children is a growing issue, and parents may not always know how to properly address or manage it. It’s important for parents to have a better understanding of what is causing the anxiety in their child and how to address it. This Webinar will provide parents with the necessary information to help their child deal with anxiety effectively.

It’s essential to seek professional help from a therapist or counsellor if the anxiety gets more frequent and interrupt your child’s development. This Webinar will be recorded and available for attendees to view after the live event.
