Most parents are familiar with childhood fears. It is common for kids to be scared of the dark and have difficulty going to bed. But these fears could also be manifest with separation anxiety, adjusting to new situations, or fear or the unknown.

Here are some issues I review in this BYU radio interview. I am interviewed in the 2nd segment of the Matt Townsend program:

These ideas work when you confront a parent-child conflict. Listen now:
