WHAT IS THIS WEBINAR ABOUT
You may remember days where you didn’t want to go to school as a kid or teen. Maybe you had to take a test you weren’t prepared for, or you were dreading to see a friend who you had a fight with. Whatever the case, you may have had knots in your stomach the night before, struggled to sleep, or even faked being sick to avoid the day ahead.
Kids today experience the exact same thing, but perhaps on a greater scale. Not only do they have a great deal more academic pressure, but their sense of social stability has imploded with the advancement of technology. Of the 4 million Australians of schooling age, as many as half of all students fall into the ‘chronically absent’ category – meaning they are missing 10 per cent or more school days per year.
As well as this, we – their parents – are more tuned in to our children than ever before. We can see their distress and we feel it. We see them wanting to go to school, but also wanting to retreat into safety. We’re ready to turn and face and help them discover their very important place in the world, but how? That’s what this webinar is about. We’re going to give you the how, and we’re so glad you’re here.
In this webinar, Karen and I leave want to offer you comprehensive actionable insights and tools about:
- Why school anxiety happens – even for us as big people!
- Specific triggers and symptoms that manifest in our homes and at every school (even the best ones).
- Why anxiety isn’t the problem, but how our response can cause trouble for them.
- How we can support our kids and teens to respond in a way that doesn’t stifle them.
- What happens if we support kids in avoiding school.
- Some language (and tools) to use when our kids and teens are overwhelmed about school – and want to avoid it.
- How to communicate with the school and advocate for their needs.
- The three things that helps our kids stay connected to their education.
- A discussion about alternative school options, our kid’s diverse needs and strengths
