This online course is not designed to replace the one-on-one work your child will do with a Psychologist, but instead, to compliment it. For many parents, the time to ask questions and get involved in the process is often limited.

In addition, the research informs us that parent training in the right skills can bring significant change in itself!

This course all the information we want you to know to be able to help your anxious child - in bite sized chunks that you can read and refer to in your own time.

No. Because Dr Amanda has not met your child she cannot provide tailored therapy. Instead the course is educational, designed to upskill parents and carers - the people who spend most time with a child. It is written to build practical skills. Parents will learn how to recognise anxiety, and a number of practical strategies to use with their child through the course, and supported in the facebook group.

Many parents are not sure if their child has anxiety that meets the criteria of an anxiety disorder. In the first module you'll learn all about anxiety - what's normal, and what's not.

This course isn't focused on labels of diagnoses - it's designed to empower and upskill you as a parent. That means when your child is anxious, you'll feel more confident in your ability to manage the situation - and help emotion coach your child through the challenges of life.

The course is designed to increase your confidence to help your child build resilience and navigate anxiety - now and in the future.

If you want to learn skills and strategies for helping an anxious child, this course will meet your needs. The course is not designed to replace one-on-work with a Psychologist.

Less is more. This course is written for quality, not quantity - we understand your time is valuable. We'd rather you spent it with your family than online!

Each week you'll learn more about anxiety, and different ways to work with your child.
Dr Amanda will be introducing and explaining skills via a series of short videos, most are under 10 minutes long. Much in the way she does with parents one on one. You can watch them at your leisure on your phone, tablet or computer.

You will be able to refer to each lesson as often as you like, there are easy to understand worksheets for you to print out and use with your child. There are also downloadable summaries for you to share with your partner or other carers in your child's life.

BONUS!!! You can ask questions in our supportive Facebook group too. Dr Amanda will be on hand each week to answer questions and share your stories of success.

Content is organised into bite sized chunks to keep it manageable.
