What every parent should know about kids’ anxiety in under 8s

In this month’s Maggie Moment, parenting author, educator, and host of The Good Enough Dad podcast, Maggie Dent discusses the causes of anxiety in children, particularly those under eight, and how the amygdala in the brain affects their perception of threats. Understanding this can help parents better support their anxious children.

Maggie also provides some tips for learning to recognise anxiety symptoms and what parents can do to create a more supportive environment.
