School Anxiety and School Distress: Children in Crisis with Dr Mary O'Kane

Is anxiety the biggest problem facing our schoolchildren today? What can educators and parents do to support those children who are too distressed to come to school? Dr Mary O'Kane joins us this week to answer these questions and more. Dr Mary O'Kane is a lecturer in psychology, parenting and early childhood education. Her books "Anxious Children in an Anxious World" and "Perfectly Imperfect Parenting" and her regular appearances on Ireland AM can help parents, teachers and all those who care about our children to understand the problems of anxiety and distress.
