In our ever growing technology driven, and parental over protective world, children are increasingly lacking opportunities in experiencing the ‘real world’ and all the benefits that can bring.  Latest research shows more and more children and young people are experiencing anxiety, stress and depression as a result.  

Ongoing anxiety can negatively impact a child or young persons emotional well-being, their self-esteem, confidence, resilience, ability to retain new information ie. learning, their social development and so on.
