5 Strategies to Support an Anxious Child in the Moment
Wednesday, November 26 • 7:00pm CST (Zoom)
Hosted by Valley Art Therapy
Limited spots available!
When kids feel anxious, it doesn’t always look like worry.
It can show up as meltdowns, revved-up energy, avoidance, or shutdown — and in those moments, it’s not that your child won’t listen… it’s that they simply can’t. Their nervous system is overwhelmed and doing its best to cope.
As a parent, this can feel confusing, frustrating, and exhausting — especially when you’re trying your best, and you still don’t know how to help in the moment.
You are not alone — And there are small, simple things that can help in the moment — that don’t require yelling, over-explaining, or sending your child to their room.
What You'll Learn
In this one-hour online workshop, you’ll learn what’s happening beneath your child’s big feelings — and 5 simple, body-based strategies you can use right away to help them feel safer and settle faster (even in the middle of those meltdown moments).
You’ll also get the feel of these strategies in your own nervous system, so you can experience how small shifts in the body can bring more calm into the moment.
You’ll walk away able to:
-
understand what anxious behaviour is actually communicating
-
help your child settle their body and feel safer faster
-
use simple body-based strategies in real meltdown moments
-
stay calmer yourself — even when emotions run high

-
want less fear + confusion around their child’s anxiety
