Description
Description:
Families dealing with an anxious child often unknowingly “help” their child by doing the very things that make anxiety stronger. This workshop will give clinicians strategies that, from the very first session, show parents and children how to identify and interrupt the cognitive, behavioral, and physiological patterns of anxiety in children.
Educational Objectives:
- State three cognitive patterns that increase anxiety in children.
- Describe four strategies parents can use to decrease anxiety in children.
