In a recent survey by the by World Health Organization, anxiety disorders are recognized as the most common emotional disorder in 10 out of 17 countries, including the US. The soaring trend toward anxiety has been accelerated by global stress and high-profile threats, such as terrorism, gun violence, cyberbullying, and other realities of the modern world. This is compounded by the increasing stresses to children, which can also include divorce, family breakdown and social pressures, producing a “shell shocked” generation suffering from high levels of anxiety. Our challenge, as parents, is to recognize anxiety in children and teens and help them cope.
In this lecture, Psychologist & Best Selling Author, Dr. Paul Foxman, Ph.D., explores:
- How anxiety develops in children and adolescents
- Practical strategies that can be applied immediately in the home
- Cognitive-behavioral, mind-body, solution-oriented and family system approaches
