A StudyPro WORKSHOP: Reducing the Impact of Anxiety in our Children
Event Information
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"
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

Organizer of A StudyPro WORKSHOP: Reducing the Impact of Anxiety in our Children
The StudyPro was created to fill a gap in the world of student learning.
Lots of smart students do well academically, yet struggle with managing increasingly rigorous coursework and homework demands. The skills required to manage these demands --and to become independent and effective learners --aren’t fully taught in school, but the expectation is that students have mastered them. These skills are known as Executive Function Skills.
This is where The StudyPro comes in. We help students build the critical "process" competencies that they need to succeed now, as well as to face the challenges of college, the workplace and life.
- INITIATION
- SELF-ADVOCACY
- LEARNING FROM MISTAKES
- PLANNING
- PRIORITIZATION
- TIME MANAGEMENT
The StudyPro offers a free speaker series to bring our community together, share valuable insights from experts, and try to help make parenting just a little bit easier.
