Worry Workshop

Service Description

The next session is: Saturday 14th March 10-11 am at Little Piggies Cafe, 39 Bedford Street, Bognor Regis, PO21 1SH Does your child: - Worry about school, friendships, getting things “wrong” - Ask lots of “what if” questions - Get stuck in loops of reassurance - Avoid things they used to enjoy - Become overwhelmed by worries that feel very real to them - Struggle to switch off at night or have their sleep affected by worry If you’re reading this and saying yes this is my child, you’re not alone and this workshop is to support you both. The session supports children to: - Understand what worry/anxiety is and why it shows up - Learn practical tools they can use when worries arise - Feel less alone by being with other children who experience worry too - Feel supported and understood by their parent - Reduce fear around worries by learning that they are a normal part of being human The aim is to empower children and parents with understanding and tools, so worries feel less overwhelming and easier to manage. As part of the workshop, parents will also receive a copy of my parent guide on supporting children with big feelings, which will help you to: - Better understand what’s going on underneath your child’s worries - Respond in ways that support emotional regulation and confidence - Feel more assured in how you handle worry when it shows up at home - Continue supporting your child long after the workshop ends The guide is practical, clear, and designed to support parents in a way that works for your family. Supporting children and parents/carers to understand worry and feel more confident managing it — together!
