Supporting the Anxious Child - Parent Workshop

For parents of children aged 3 - 12 years

This information session is designed for parents of children who present with behaviours that are often associated with feelings of anxiousness. These behaviours can include difficulties separating from caregivers, excessive worrying, fears & phobias or a reluctance to participate or engage in social activities or attend school.

When: Monday 17 August, 6:30pm - 7:30pm (1 hour)

Who: For parents of children aged 3 - 12 years

The session will discuss:

• the different ways these feelings can manifest

• the impact of COVID -19 on social emotional development

• when parents should seek professional help.

The session will also examine how parents can support their child, without reinforcing avoidance or unhelpful ways of coping.
