Should you worry about their worries? (Anxiety in Children)

Nov 27 2019

Save

Anxiety is a normal part of life, a natural response that occurs when an individual perceives a threat, danger or negative outcome or event. It is common and normal for children to feel anxious or fearful about a variety of things during their development. In most cases these fears are transitory and do not significantly interfere with a child's academic, social or family life. But as parents and carers, it's sometimes hard to know the difference between normal worries and something more serious.

This workshop will explore:

what is worry and anxiety
Relaxation ideas
Collecting thoughts and spotting errors
Coping and realistic thinking
When does anxiety become a problem
