It can feel overwhelming as a parent to have a kid who is struggling with social anxiety. The good news is that while you can’t make friends for your kid, you can support them in managing their anxiety. In this class, your host will give you practical strategies for working with your kid to calm themselves, and then to equip them with social skills, problem-solving skills, and tools to interrupt negative thinking. Once the therapist has guided you through exercises and personal reflections, they'll open up the class for questions. You'll be able to ask our therapist anything, anonymously. Note: your attendance is completely anonymous and there is no audio or video required to ask questions. Can't join live? That’s okay! Many people prefer to use on-demand videos. Everyone who signs up will gain access to the live video recording.

One of the most frustrating experiences as a parent is feeling that you’ve repeated yourself several times and your child still isn’t doing what you’ve asked them to do.

In this class, your host will teach you practical ways to get your child to listen to you. You’ll get to explore and choose which approaches fit your family. Once the therapist has guided you through exercises and personal reflections, they'll open up the class for questions. You'll be able to ask our therapist anything, anonymously. Note: your attendance is completely anonymous and there is no audio or video required to ask questions. Can't join live? That’s okay! Many people prefer to use on-demand videos.
