Virtual via Google Meet

Following this particularly turbulent time, there have been many emotions stirred up in our children and youth. Alarm. Frustration. Worry. When emotions get stirred up, they will come out in the child's behaviour. We are seeing increasing aggression in kids as their frustration builds. And anxiety in children has been on the rise, even pre-Covid. Understandably, we may feel at a loss for what to do.

This discussion will walk around the re-frame of understanding that behind the challenging behaviours we see; there is always an emotion and that emotion needs to go somewhere. We will chat about practical things we can do every day to help kids to find some release and how by preemptively channeling this emotional energy, we can lower aggression and the alarm a child might be experiencing. When we can address the root causes of troubling behaviours, instead of trying to simply manage or shift them, we have an opportunity to create lasting change.

Join Tamara and Hannah for a warm and engaging session that will help you understand more about aggression and anxiety and the practical things we can do to support the emotional health of our children and youth. There will be a participant Q & A at the end of the workshop. Perfect for parents with children ages 4 to 18.
