Anxiety Coach

Helping Parents Support Anxious Children

With the right information, parents can help children to overcome their anxiety, guiding any child to lessen their worrying and reduce their avoidance of challenging tasks.
Childhood anxiety is much more prevalent these days, and parents and carers need to be able to help their kids to prevent dangerous escalation.

Who is this program for?

Parents and caregivers of children who may be experiencing anxiety or emotional challenges

What You’ll Gain

Additionally, we’ll discuss how to balance necessary risks for growth with safety, helping parents make informed choices without increasing their child’s stress.
You’ll also learn about the root causes of anxiety, proactive ways to minimise its impact, and practical techniques to support resilience.
