After 18 months, your child is finally going back to school full time! On the surface, parents and students are relieved and excited. However, a lot has changed since your child was last in school: social circles shifted, formats for lessons and projects were adjusted, after school activities were limited, screens took over daily life, and recess and lunchtime with friends didn’t exist. Perhaps your child is exhibiting signs of anxiety or asking questions like: “will I still have the same friends?” “Did I learn enough last year?” “What if I’m too tired to go to school?” “What if I get sick?” “Will school be different?”
Join us for a one-hour Zoom workshop with Dr. Ziv Bell of Mercer Island Therapy. We will explore some of the mental health and behavioral challenges that children have faced due to the pandemic. We will dive deep into practical, evidence-based strategies you can employ to help your children feel heard while restoring a greater sense of control. We will address topics related to anxiety, supporting children who struggle with transitions, managing children's electronic use, and recognizing signs to seek professional help. This presentation will include a Q&A and the opportunity to receive personalized advice and support.
