In this episode of Ask Dr Jessica,  Lori Allen, MFT joins Dr. Jessica Hochman to discuss all aspects of childhood anxiety.  Isn't some level of anxiety normal?  How does a parent know when anxiety is a point where a child would benefit from therapy?  If a child is anxious, what are some strategies a parent can use to help?  We also discuss what therapy with a psychologist can offer and what a family may expect from a therapist.  Lori offers tips for parents to help balance raising children and work.
