Why Are Many Kids Anxious? and How Can Parents Help?
On May 31st clinical leaders from Fort Health, the Child Mind Institute and Yale Child Study Centre hosted a webinar on how parental behaviours affect a child's anxiety.
There is growing evidence that modifying parental behaviour can be as effective in alleviating anxiety symptoms as treating the child directly.
The clinicians, including Dr. Eli Lebowitz, who developed this treatment method, shared parental strategies that can alleviate a child's anxiety as well as guidance on when to seek additional help.
