TITLE: Ride-or-Die Parenting Strategies: Anxious Children Edition
SUMMARY:
What does the most up-to-date scientific literature support as the most effective parenting strategies for helping a child or teen experiencing anxiety?
What are the basic, ride-or-die anxiety management strategies that parents should absolutely know how to do? And, more importantly, why they should do them?
Dr. Katherine Dahlsgaard, a 20-year veteran of specialty treatment for pediatric anxiety disorders and former Director of CHOP’s Anxiety Behaviors Clinic and Picky Eaters Clinic, will describe the most science-backed and specific parenting strategies and give lots of engaging examples that are age-appropriate for the common anxiety concerns of elementary, middle, and high school students. She cares about parents and their sanity and she has a sense of humor.
