Ted Bradshaw is a cognitive behavioural therapist and father of three. In this book, he breaks down how anxiety works and the evidence-based techniques that can help. You will learn how to really understand what is going on for your child, why they might be getting anxious in the first place and the most effective things to do to tackle anxiety in the moment and long term.
