    I'm attending a cognitive behaviour therapy group with my child to learn how to help with her anxiety. The child group runs at the same time as the parent group and there's some link up between the two towards the end of each session. We're seeing some advances in the first few weeks and we'll see how the remainder goes. They focus on hierarchies and exposures to counter the negative thoughts and feelings.

    Her psychologist says that the things she's anxious about now will serve her well as an adult but for a 10 year old it causes issues. There are additional things thrown in there such as gender identity issues and her parents separating but her personality and temperament makes her prone to general anxiety disorder.
