Help Kids Face Fears - Dr. Aude Henin, PhD [278]

As children get older, they begin to realize just how big the world is, triggering fears and creating anxiety. As a parent, they look to us for reassurance and guidance. In this episode, I talk to Dr. Aude Henin, Ph.D. about helping children cope with stress, anxiety, and OCD, how to help our children work towards facing their fears, and how to recognize when our children need additional support.
