Supporting Children with Anxiety

A PRACTICAL WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS, CAREGIVERS, AND EDUCATORS

Parenting comes with the most rewarding, unpredictable, frustrating, crazy, and delightful moments, all which can happen before you have your morning coffee. Add anxiety to the mix and you can feel like you’re lost in the woods and can’t find your way out. If your child experiences anxiety, separation issues, or school refusal, or if bedtime or getting ready in the morning can be a nightmare, come along to learn some practical skills to support your child and yourself.

Unravel the complexities of childhood anxiety and discover effective strategies to create a safe, nurturing environment for your child.

ARE YOU A PARENT, CAREGIVER, OR EDUCATOR OF A CHILD EXPERIENCING ANXIETY, SEPERATION ISSUES, OR SCHOOL REFUSAL?

Join us for a transformative 2-hour workshop dedicated to helping you navigate the challenges of supporting children with anxiety. Explore practical tools and strategies that will empower you to create a secure, comforting space for your child, and learn how to manage their distress and big behaviours.

IN THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL:

Gain a deeper understanding of anxiety and how it presents in children
Identify accommodating behaviours and learn new ways to respond
Reduce family conflict and parental stress
Enhance connection and safety between the child and the parent/caregiver
Boost your confidence in managing your child’s anxiety
