The Children’s and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety, a group of private practice psychologists with a specialty in treatment of childhood anxiety and OCD, is proud to present a workshop for parents. The goal is to help parents to understand the nature of anxiety and to help their children cope with it and flourish. This is a 2 part series.
In the first meeting, we will teach parents about the nature of anxiety in children; how it impacts thoughts, feelings and behaviors and how parents can use strategies to help their child cope with anxiety. The second meeting focuses on how to apply these child and parent strategies to how to typical difficult times with children with anxiety (e.g., school mornings, stomachaches, homework, bedtime, trying new things). Also we will address how parents can take care of themselves so they can take care of their children
