Chaplains Corner
Hi wonderful parents and carers of children at Somie Primary School!
In our society there are many anxiety producing events from illness to world events. Each child can be impacted differently by these things. In the last newsletter I recommended a resource through Anglicare Victoria Parents Pods. One of the podcasts was on anxiety. Its worth a listen if this is relevant for your child. They look at
*is anxiety bad?
*How to tune into your childs thoughts
* Normal developmental anxieties for school age children eg death, illness and failing.
*Negative thinking and imagining the worst
* Recognising that anxiety comes and goes
*Reassurance and how to empower your child.
If any of this looks relevant check out the parents pods on the Anglicare Victoria website.
Kind regards
