Parent Workshop: Understanding Anxiety

With anxiety in young children on the rise, it’s more important than ever for parents and caregivers to understand the signs and how they can help. We’re hosting a special workshop to offer valuable insights into the science behind anxiety. 
 

Practical strategies for supporting children in managing their emotions will be shared.  The workshop will be presented by Elaine O'Connor, OT and Play Therapist and mum of Ronan in Year 3/4.

The session will cover how to recognize the early signs of anxiety, what causes it, and how simple tools can be used to help children feel calm and confident. Whether your child struggles with school stress, social anxiety, or other challenges, this workshop will provide you with the knowledge and skills to support them effectively.

Details:

  • Date: Tuesday, 29th April

  • Time: 6.30pm - 8.00pm

  • Location: Upstairs in the TriCentre

This presentation is FREE for St. Mary's parents. Child minding will also be available for St. Mary's students, making it easier for parents to attend.

Don’t forget to register your interest via the Operoo note sent out at the end of Term 1 or email me directly, noting how many adults will attend and whether you require child minding services. 

We look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible!
