Come to this class to learn how to:
?Ä¢ Differentiate between normal worry and problematic worry.
?Ä¢ Teach children strategies to reduce worried thoughts, feelings and behaviors including relaxation techniques and to prevent the avoidance trap (e.g. school refusal, bedtime refusal).
?Ä¢ Use parenting behaviors that buffer children from anxiety and to avoid parenting strategies that promote fear.
