Hey Sigmund is a great website developed by Karen Young that helps children and parents better understand worry and anxiety.

I recently attended a learning day with her based on her book ‘Hey Warrior’. The book helps explain to kids the reason why anxiety feels the way it does in our body, where the physical symptoms come from and some steps to help feel better.

I have started using her resources in my sessions with children and am finding that the children are responding well to them…..especially when we talk about the amygdala as our own protective warrior!

The website has a number of online courses for parents and children to better understand how to manage anxiety.

A number of her books can be found online as well as in our library - so I would really encourage you to look through the website if you are worried about your child.
