FREE Webinar with Dr Justin Coulson for Beaumaris Secondary College Parents and Carers

Wednesday 8 September 2021 | 7.30pm AEST

Anxiety has become one of the leading causes of ill-health in our children and it’s also affecting more parents than ever before. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated what was already an accelerating problem.

Can we stop anxiety? Where is it coming from? Are our kids bubble-wrapped snowflakes that just need to “toughen up” and get over it? Or is there an approach to our children’s anxiety that can build them, encourage them, and give them hope?

This webinar will provide the answers every parent needs to help their children – and even to help themselves. Over the course of 90 minutes, Dr Justin Coulson will help you to:

• Recognise anxiety in your child and know how best to respond when anxiety flares up
• Become a supportive hope-giver to your child to empower them to be courageous in the face of anxious thoughts
• Uncover the research-based #1 strength your child can develop to combat anxiety and develop remarkable resilience.
• Identify how your own anxieties could be affecting your child and know how to manage them
• Learn proven strategies to help both you and your child navigate and manage anxiety when things get stressful

Once you’ve participated in this webinar you’ll have strategies that you can put into practice on the spot to help curb anxiety, build confidence and restore resilience in your child. And if you struggle with anxiety yourself, you’ll be changed.

Note – this is a live webinar but a link will be available for 7 days after the event.

Micro-habits to parent better every day

Are you over receiving parenting advice that requires you jump through hoops to get better behaved, happier or resilient kids? These micro-habits are easy to implement, require no willpower and take less than a minute of your time. The Japanese concept of Kaizen states that small habits are easy to do as they require no willpower. After a time, they become a natural part of what you do and you’re performing better, in this case parenting better, before you know it.
