Stress and anxiety can cause serious behavioural problems for children. In fact, Kids Matter, an Australian government initiative, focusing on kids mental health estimates ‘1 in 7 school-age children has a mental health problem, like anxiety, depression and behaviour problems, but only 1 in 4 gets the help they need’.
Expert in childhood stress management Dr. Stuart Shanker believes taking action in pre-school years can help to prevent or minimize the stress children experience as they grow up.
