Supporting Children with Fears and Anxiety

Suitable for all early learning professionals and parents.

Presenter: Georgianna Lee

It's not always easy to know how to support children when they're feeling scared or experiencing anxiety. Sometimes our best efforts and good intentions seem to escalate the situation even more or leave us or them feeling stuck. Growing your ability to bring warmth to these moments and create emotional safety for a child allows you to be with them through their fears. Slowly and gently you can support them to tap into their courage to move through challenging moments. It's in these moments that children have the opportunity to develop a strong sense of self worth, confidence in their ability to get through difficulties and trust in the people who support them.
