Parent workshop replay…
Who is this workshop for?
We're living in a world where the news is at our fingertips. Talking to our kids about scary or complex topics can feel so overwhelming we might avoid these discussions all together. But avoiding tough topics can leave our kids feeling alone with their feelings.
In this workshop you will learn:
What anxiety looks like in preschoolers, school-age kids, and teens
How to know when a child is developmentally ready to learn about complex topics like sex, war, natural disasters, and politics
How to talk to kids about lock-down drills and gun violence
How to explain complicated situations to children who are literal thinkers
Strategies to help kids feel safe and trusting of those around them
