Dr. Dawn’s Seven-Step Solution For When Worry Takes Over

Easy-to-Implement Strategies for Parents or Carers of Anxious Kids

worry has a way of turning into WORRY in the blink of an eye. This upper-case WORRY causes children to fret about unlikely scenarios and shrink away from routine challenges, ultimately holding entire families hostage. But upper-case WORRY is predictable and manageable once you understand its tricks.

This 7-part video series will help you recognize WORRY’s tricks while teaching techniques to help you and your child break free.
