Free webinar - supporting an overwhelmed and worried child
Thu 25 Jan 2024Move-More are offering the following free webinar to any interested parent. Please see below for details and how to register.
Webinar Topic: How to support an overwhelmed and worried child
Description: Feeling worried and overwhelmed is normal. We all experience this on regular basis. Children are no different and some of them more than others. Children who are worried and overwhelmed can appear clingy, find it hard to leave parents, settle independently at night or find it hard to cooperate and manage their emotions. Some children’s worries come out as anger leaving parents confused about what to do. Do we shield children from situations they find upsetting and triggering, or do we push and throw them into the "deep end" hoping for the best? Are there other ways? And how do we know what is appropriate for our children?
To help you answer these questions, our next session will be focusing on:
- How to spot the signs of worrying and feeling overwhelmed.
- How to help your child when they feel overwhelmed and worried “in the moment”.
- How to encourage your children to learn the skills so that they can eventually help themselves when facing worry and overwhelm.
When: Thursday 1st February 2024 at 1pm
Duration: Approximately 60 minutes
How do you sign up for the online session? To register for this online session, please follow this link www.move-more.org/events/webinar-overwhelmed-and-worried-child/
