Webinar: Enough - Helping our children overcome anxiety, perfectionism & self loathing

Comparison. Competition. The perpetual feeling that “I’m not enough”. Something is happening to many of our kids. It’s happening at a level we haven’t seen before. And the ramifications appear deeply serious. Many of our children are drenched in the insecurity of feeling incomplete, inadequate, insufficient, imperfect, lacking, faulty, limited, defective… imposters. There is a crisis of confidence – and importantly, competence. And even our seemingly confident and competent kids are struggling. It's often the kids who are "succeeding", the ones who are ticking all of the right boxes, the ones who are "winning" that are often the WORST at feeling like they're "enough". 

Dr Justin Coulson offers the following five tools to help our children overcome their anxieties, perfectionism, and even self-loathing so they can both do well and feel well:

  1. Mattering
  2. Knowing who they are 
  3. Being hopeful
  4. Doing hard things
  5. Making a difference

The Enough. Helping our children overcome anxiety, perfectionism and self loathing webinar was held on Monday 16 October. Access the recording using our school's unique URL and password.
