Parenting Monaghan are delighted to invite Dr Mary O'Kane to Monaghan to have a chat with parents on 'School based anxiety'.
All children worry at times, but for some children, it can be a real challenge to manage their anxieties. As parents, when your child is anxious it can be difficult to know how best to support them.
However, parents play an important role in helping their child to both understand and to manage their anxiety. You don’t want to belittle the child’s feelings, but you also don’t want to amplify them.
In this talk Dr Mary O’Kane explains anxiety in children and offers parents practical advice on how to support their children during difficult times, helping them to manage their fears and gain confidence.
Dr Mary O’Kane is a Lecturer in Psychology, Early Childhood Studies and Education. She continues to work with Today FM, now on the Alison Curtis Weekend Morning show.
Mary is also a regular contributor on Ireland AM discussing a broad range of parenting and childhood issues while responding to viewers parenting queries. Mary is known for her warm and engaging manner and has a natural ability to connect with parents.
Taking place on Monday 1st December at 6.30pm
In the Peace Campus, Monaghan.
Booking essential!
