Sep 22, 2023

One of the most common questions I get asked by desperate, worried parents is "Why is my child so anxious?"
It's a question that resonates deeply with parents who witness their children grapple with anxiety, often leaving them feeling helpless and overwhelmed.
Sometimes they worry that they have caused it in some way or that other people will think they have, leading to guilt and shame.
Others are simply frustrated, feeling like they've tried everything, yet nothing seems to work.
If you find yourself pondering this question, you're not alone. Understanding your child's anxiety takes a little detective work, as it often results from a complex interplay of genetic predispositions, environmental factors, and psychological influences.
In today's video, we'll take a closer look at these factors, and help you to explore the possible roots of your child's anxiety.  I hope you find it helpful.
Warmest wishes
