Parent and Child Wellbeing Sessions

Over the holidays, St Mary’s will be hosting the Children’s Health and Wellbeing Local group, facilitated by psychologist Annette Clements.

Annette will be running two practical workshops for families with children aged 7–12 years:

Worry in Children All About Anger

These sessions would be helpful for any parent or carer who would like to better understand their child’s emotions and learn simple ways to support them at home. Families may be interested if their child often feels nervous, worried, overwhelmed, frustrated, angry, or finds it hard to calm down when big emotions take over.

The workshops will provide practical information in a relaxed and supportive setting. Parents and carers can expect to learn about why children may experience worry or anger, what these emotions can look like at home or school, and some helpful strategies to support children with managing their feelings.

Each session will run for approximately one hour on 8th July. Please see the brochure for session times and further details.

Bookings are essential. These workshops are open to all families in the Loddon community.

Please see more details in the Pastoral Wellbeing section of this newsletter.
