PARENTING
Coping with the loss of your family pet; managing children's worries; ten educational apps and more!
Worrying in little ones is a very common and a normal part of their development. In fact, worry is a sign of a healthy imagination and a developing brain. Children’s minds are sponges, absorbing and trying to make sense of all the information they are exposed to every day. As kids process this information, their imagination can take them to some very weird and wonderful places, not all of which can be helpful, and some of which may even be scary for them.
IS IT A PHASE?
You might be wondering whether or not this is a phase. For many children, it will be something they simply ‘grow out of ’ or learn how to manage. However, for some little ones, the worry will stick around and they may need some professional support to learn how best to manage.

Here, we will look at some great tips that you can implement into your everyday parenting that will reassure your child and help them to manage their anxieties.
