Ann will be speaking about “Parenting in an Age of Anxiety: A Stress and Anxiety Toolkit for Parents”

Focus: Stress management and coping skills for parents and kids

All kids experience stress and anxiety. These emotions are part of being human, after all. But one in eight children experiences such a high level of anxiety that the child finds it difficult to manage at home or at school. In this thought-provoking presentation by Ann Douglas (a bestselling parent author who also struggles with anxiety), you’ll learn how to tell the difference between stress and anxiety (and why this matters); stress management skills for kids and adults; and anxiety management skills for kids and adults (what makes anxiety better, not worse).

This presentation is based on strategies outlined in Ann’s two most recent books, Happy Parents Happy Kids and Parenting Through the Storm.
