KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital has developed self-help videos for parents with preschoolers with anxiety. If your child is experiencing frequent anxiety that is interfering with his/her everyday life, and is not reducing with your efforts to support him/her, please talk to your child’s doctor or healthcare professional about seeking professional support with a psychologist.
Children with anxiety disorder are known to respond well to professional intervention. The psychologist can work with you and/or your child to develop a tailored approach to manage your child’s anxiety.
