Anxiety - Coaching for Confidence
Presented by Dr. Maria Phelps, Educational Support Services, St. James-Assiniboia School Division. Shyness and anxiety are normal human emotions. Some children, however, are much more shy or fearful than the average child. For these children, anxiety may interfere with their enjoyment of school, activities with other children, new experiences (swimming lessons, birthday parties, etc.), and their development of independence and confidence. In this session, parents will learn about anxiety in children aged four to seven and gain useful tools to help their children overcome this problem.
