DESCRIPTION

Anxiety is a common problem for many children. Whether the anxiety arises from genetic factors or environmental conditions, children need to find a way to face the anxiety and master it. This training will examine the symptoms of anxiety and how it impacts children. We will explore playful interventions that can be used to help children manage anxiety producing situations.
