Anxiety is something that we all suffer from time to time. Having a child who is anxious all of the time, though, or exhibits anxiety even some of the time, is very concerning for us as parents.
Anxiety in children can manifest in many ways: trouble concentrating, hypervigilant attempts at controlling people, places and things, they will avoid situations or things that they fear, or endure them with anxious feelings, which can manifest as crying, tantrums, clinging, avoidance, headaches, and stomachaches. Anxiety can cause huge arguments, a sense of feeling helpless for parents and a true feeling of overwhelm for all family members.
This six month program will help you understand anxiety from a nervous system perspective. In the past, we have felt that behavioural changes, controlling a child and being very disciplined was a way to change or help anxiety when we now know with the new science there is a much better way to understand anxiety by way of the nervous system.
This program will educate you on the nervous system, attachment, the therapeutic value of play, how anxiety shows up every day and how to deal with it, how to help the nervous system regulate and how our role as parents affects the energy of the whole family.
This program will run in a secret online group, will have videos, podcasts, scholarly articles and practical help for nuanced care for the WHOLE family.
The program starts June 27.
