This workshop is for parents seeking to understand what stress and anxiety are, how it impacts children and various strategies to soothe and cope. You will receive psychological education from a neurobiological and developmental viewpoint from a therapist who has over 10 years’ experience working with children and parents. You will create a creative “tool kit” to take home and use with your child in learning how to self-soothe as well as a workbook covering the information in the class. There will also be time for Q&A. Jennifer Harkness is a West Seattle licensed mental health counselor and art therapist who specializes in treating anxiety in children and adults. Her website is www.courageoushearthealing.com.
