From Worrier to Warrior

A workshop to support participants to

·         Understand anxiety and the impact it has on the way a child operates in the school environment

·         Respond to those anxieties in a child centered, playful way empowering the child to externalise and manage the fear

·         Use classroom management strategies to create an environment and atmosphere that promotes calm 

·         Explore how anxiety can lead to school refusal and develop a plan to support the anxious child to remain in school

This is an interactive and experiential workshop so once you have registered for the course you will be given a list some art and craft materials to have available if you can.
