This year our Psychologist, Rose Fitzpatrick will be running some information sessions for parents focusing on some common topics. This term we are starting with two sessions focusing on anxiety, looking at what anxiety is, how it presents in children, when to seek help, as well as some strategies for helping our kids and ourselves. These sessions are similar in content but have been split to focus on age-appropriate strategies for younger and older children. At the end of term, we will have a session on an intro to ADHD. This session will try to cover the basics of what ADHD is and how it looks in school-aged children, what is happening in ADHD brains, what the pros and cons of going forward with a diagnostic assessment may be, what they look like, and some study tips.
Sessions will be on Wednesdays after drop-off at 9am in the school hall. Come early and you can grab a coffee from the Coastal Cafe.
