Fear

Growing Up in Uncertain Times and How We Can Help Our Children Face the World with Courage

The global situation with crises, wars and climate change – but also the increasing pressure to perform at school and addictive potential of TikTok & Co. are causing children and adolescents anxiety and triggering a variety of fears. Many children have a general fear of the future and worry that they simply will not be able to cope with life, which is a disturbing new phenomenon.

She gives valuable tips from her practice on how to counteract fears despite the many triggers and how to instil children with confidence in the world.
