Supportive parenting for anxious children

Parenting a child who is anxious is a tough journey.

In this pandemic the challenge is even tougher, for parents a constant cycle of reassurance and frustration - one step forwards and another one backwards.

How can we help our anxious children to move on, to expand their horizons and to live the fulfilling life we want for them?

Parenting in a pandemic

Parenting has taken on new meaning in today’s world.

Expectations on parents are ever higher; society often judges us on our ‘performance’.

As parents we can feel under pressure and under scrutiny from others: wider family, neighbours, friends, colleagues or our children themselves.

Collective resilience

Resilience is hugely important when life is difficult.

More than just an individual concept, effective resilience has a collective and relational aspect that encourages us to focus on those around us.

Infectious anxiety

Have you ever noticed how anxiety seems to be infectious in your family?

Many people end up seeking professional help for their anxious child, only to discover on reflection that anxiety seems to be running rife throughout their whole family.
