Help you identify the symptoms and possible causes of anxiety in your child
Give you activities to do with your child to change their thought process and challenge anxious thoughts
Arm you with ideas to try in-the-moment, when your child is feeling overwhelmed with worry or anxiety
Give you the confidence to talk openly with your child and start the journey of overcoming anxiety.
