A StudyPro WORKSHOP: Reducing the Impact of Anxiety in our Children
Event Information
Event description
Description
Anxiety is not all bad. A healthy dose can help us prioritize, focus and even boost our performance.
Too much, however, can result in avoidance, depression, perfectionism, irritability and more.
As parents, how do we know what is “typical” anxiety vs. when to seek additional help? And what steps can we take to help reduce our child’s experience of anxiety?
With more than 1 in 20 US children and teens having anxiety or depression*, this is a conversation worth having.
After his highly insightful and pragmatic presentation at The StudyPro in 2017, Dr. Jonathan Dalton, licensed psychologist and
Founder of the Center for Anxiety and Behavioral Change is returning to host a free, extended workshop for parents:
“Practical Strategies for Parents to Use to Help our Children with Anxiety"
Dr. Dalton will focus on specific skills that parents can use to respond to anxiety in their children and teens.
In particular, he will discuss:
- What is anxiety and how do I recognize it in my child?
- How and why avoidance and anxiety are teammates
- What to do and not to do to help children confront their anxiety in a productive fashion
- How to identify which behaviors to respond to and which to ignore
