More information ‘Helping your Child with Fears and Worries’ by Cathy Creswell and Lucy Willetts is definitely worth a read. The authors are clinical psychologists who specialise in supporting children and young people. The book is packed with practical advice on helping children to deal with fears, worries and anxiety. It covers everything from phobias to separation anxiety. And it’s aimed at parents, so is not written like a medical textbook! The following websites also have lots of resources and information you might find useful: # • www.camhs-resources.co.uk • www.youngminds.org.uk/blog/supporting-achild-returning-to-school-after-lockdown Extra support All children feel anxious and worried sometimes. However, up to 15% of children experience anxiety disorders, which can stop them enjoying day-today life and lead to more long-term issues. So, if your child is struggling and you’re worried, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Your child’s school may be able to offer advice. It’s also worth speaking to your GP to see if your child can be referred for extra support.
