(January 2021) Closing the Gap: Anxiety in Foster and Adopted Children & Adolescents
Tense muscles, overeating, not sleeping, chipped teeth (!), and anger outbursts. When children and adolescents have big anxieties, there are myriad avenues through which their anxiety may manifest – and for us adults in their lives, it can all too often get our own anxieties hooked along with theirs.
In this workshop, we will explore:
– The neurobiology of anxiety
– How anxiety is uniquely felt and expressed in children & adolescents
– How anxiety is uniquely felt and expressed in those with attachment disruptions
– Helpful ways for children & adolescents to soothe their anxiety
– Helpful ways for adults to respond to children & adolescents who are experiencing anxiety
