Do you have a child or teen struggling with anxiety?
Dr David Coleman, expert on parenting. child and adolescent wellbeing and development, wants to reframe anxiety as a normal part of children and adolescents' development.
He feels we need to understand anxiety better, as a feeling that's perfectly normal - and which most children and teens go through - rather than viewing it as an illness or mental health issue.
David is starting a tour around the country which kicks off in October, ‘Helping children and teenagers cope with anxiety’, and as part of this, he will be hosting a talk in The Theatre Royal 17th October .
During the talk, David will give parents the tool box for the growing problem of anxiety to deal with the stresses in their children and teens' lives and then take questions from the audience afterwards.
This morning (Monday) on 'Deise Today', David spoke to Damien Tiernan about the anxiety issue - and about what those who attend his tour can expect.
