The session covers:
- the types of anxiety, and when to seek help
- contributors, and ways to reduce them
- indicators. Some anxiety is part of normal childhood development, however we explore signs to look out for.
- what's happening in the brain, patterns of behaviour and the anxiety cycle (and how to interrupt and change the cycle)
- what doesn't work, we will look at how the importance of being aware of the language used, labelling and validation of feelings
- PRACTICAL strategies to support the child

Anxiety can be exhausting for everyone! We will cover ways for parents/caregivers/educators to reduce their stress and remain calm.

This session also contains strategies gained from Kate completing training with Dr Russ Harris, and Dr Louise Hayes, in Mindfulness, and anxiety for children and teens.
She has also attended training with Karen Young (from Hey Sigmund), a psychologist with a passion to educate and advocate for our children and young people experiencing Anxiety.
