Anxious Kids: How children can turn their anxiety into resilience

Anxiety amongst children and young people is on the rise.

Research informs us that anxiety left unmanaged in childhood will almost always reoccur in adulthood. Fortunately, there’s so much we can do to help kids turn their anxiousness into real, lifelong resilience.

In this presentation Michael will:

explore the origins of anxiety and why we are in the grip of an epidemic
show a new research-based approach to anxiety
introduce the tools to develop in kids for self-regulation
explain the importance of resilience promotion in kids and the critical traits and parenting teaching styles that contribute to resilience
look at lifestyle factors that minimise anxiety
show parents and teachers how to respond constructively to children’s anxious moments
