Identifying Anxiety in Children

Anxiety is a normal part of life, and for children, it often plays a developmental role in building resilience. However, when anxiety becomes persistent and interferes with daily life, it can indicate an anxiety disorder. For child and family specialists, recognising the signs of anxiety is critical in providing timely and effective support to families.

Confidently Navigate Teen Development

Adolescence is a period of remarkable growth, particularly in the brain. While teenagers can seem unpredictable or emotional, their behaviours are deeply rooted in the natural changes happening during this time. By understanding these developmental shifts, parents, educators, and caregivers can provide the guidance and support teens need to thrive.

Understanding Visual Supports: Practical Tools to Assist Children with Autism

By Parentshop StaffNovember 3, 2024

For children on the autism spectrum, processing verbal information alone can often be challenging. Visual supports offer a powerful way to bridge this gap, making communication more accessible and environments more predictable. By incorporating images, schedules, or symbols into a child’s daily routines, child and family specialists can help parents and educators unlock new ways of engagement that encourage independence and reduce anxiety.
