Research suggests that children can learn to think differently about sticky, intrusive thoughts so they don't feel controlled by them.
We can help children confront their social fears and develop tools to deal with anxious feelings.
Caregivers can help children be kinder to themselves and replace a self-critical inner voice with a friendly one.
