Recognising signs of anxiety in your child can be challenging, and we want to support you as best we can.

In this webinar, Caitlin will explore:

✔️How to recognise signs of anxiety, such as excessive worry, irritability, trouble sleeping and physical complaints

✔️How to recognise signs of low self-esteem, such as negative self-talk, comparing themselves unfavourably to others, mood swings, withdrawal from friends or activities, reluctance to try new things, and difficulty coping with failure

✔️Supportive strategies such as compassionate communication, encouraging resilience, and helping your child build confidence
