St. Thomas-Elgin EarlyON presents “Children and Anxiety: Keeping Them Safe While Helping Them Grow” with Dr. Alex Russell.
It is no surprise that parents and caregivers are also feeling anxiety when faced with supporting their children through these difficult times!
This workshop helps us understand childhood anxiety as a necessary building block of adaptation; an essential gateway to a child’s creative engagement with the world around them. It provides helpful guidelines for navigating these challenges while maintaining close, supportive relationships with the child. Parents and educators will gain knowledge about how to support children by giving them the tools and skills needed to take on anxiety adaptively. This approach allows the child to experience a sense of mastery and competence as they learn to unfold their anxiety with confidence.
