Helping Children With Anxiety: Lynn Lyons Talks to Kids

Anxiety in children is all too common and, when left untreated, is one of the strongest predictors of anxiety and depression later in life. Childhood fears and worries are normal, but excessive worrying and the cycle of behaviors that follow adversely influence a child’s learning, social development, and family life.  In this half hour video, I speak directly to children and their parents, helping them understand what worry does to their bodies and mind and then how to respond to worry in a different way.
