Wednesday Webinar: Parenting the Anxious Child

Anxiety Disorders are among the most common childhood mental health struggles. Learning to effectively cope with distressing thoughts and anxious emotions can be challenging. When feelings of anxiety are excessive and become overwhelming, children instinctively rely on their parents to help them cope and rid them of these unwanted feelings. And, many well-meaning, caring parents do just that; however, this can become unintentionally problematic, impairing the ability of the child to function independently and preventing them from developing the ability to cope on their own. Understanding the context of anxiety in the family system provides a unique opportunity for parents to effectively help their children through their own behavioral changes. Marla W.
