School Related Stress

I presented along with Granville Intermediate School Counselor, Tammy Breymaier, about identifying anxiety in children and offered suggestions of how parents can support their child in managing those feelings. The talk offered theoretical approaches and practical takeaways for parents to reflect on how they can help mitigate a child’s anxiety as it relates to school.
