Hello wonderful Somerville Primary School Community!
Here’s a question for you:
What do you think is by far the most common issue I talk to students about???
By faaaaaar it’s ANXIETY.
This of course has many sources but it is a very real issue for students today.
If you are the parent of a child that is anxious you may like to consider an online Australian resource fear-less Triple P developed by clinical psychologists.
FEAR-LESS TRIPLE P – IF YOUR CHILD IS ANXIOUS
IS THIS YOUR FAMILY?
Your child (aged 6 to 14 years) has anxiety that is affecting their everyday life. It may stop them, or your whole family, from doing certain activities. Your child may be worried a lot of the time. You may swing between reassuring them and telling them to face their fears. Neither of these seems to work, and their anxiety seems to increase. You may feel like you’ve tried everything, and possibly may be anxious yourself. If parenting a child with anxiety is affecting your life and you’d like to help your child worry less and be more confident, Fear-Less Triple P can help.
WHAT IS FEAR-LESS TRIPLE P?
Fear-Less Triple P helps you set a good example of coping with anxiety, coach children to become more emotionally resilient, and develop your own toolbox of strategies. You can choose how to best support your child as they learn to manage their anxiety more effectively. Fear-Less Triple P is part of the comprehensive parenting system, the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program®
Kind regards
