The original version is being successfully run across Shepway and other districts. Delegates will have the opportunity to gain a theoretical overview of the rage/anxiety cycle and to consider the underlying reasons for a pupil’s behaviour. Delegates will be supported to identify strategies to support pupils at each of the stages of the rage/anxiety cycle and to explore the reasons for heightened anxieties/emotions.\nDelegates will be provided with a resource pack to run the new enhanced 6/12 week structured intervention programme through sharing examples of effective practice.The programmes are structured to enable the pupils to develop their skills in managing their own crisis situations and to be able to reflect. Children will create a workbook and be introduced to a variety of visual supports which can be used as a management tool by parents/setting staff and enable consistency in approach. This programme can also be adapted for small group work. \nParking is free at the venue.

If encouraged\, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.’ \nArthur Somers Roche \nThe daily pressures on our children are increasing from targets and testing in the classroom to the rise of pressure advertising and social media. For many of our children the world\, or certain aspects of it\, is overwhelming\, complex and scary. From separation and social anxiety to performance and health anxiety\, an increasing number of children now benefit from direct support to manage their worries. \nThis workshop will introduce you to the current thinking around children’s anxiety and move onto exploring ways to support young people to manage their anxiety more effectively. We will introduce you to visual resources and a toolbox of practical strategies that can be used within home and school. \nTickets £10  per person. \nFEEDBACK \n‘Fantastic course – can definitely recommend and I will certainly attend more workshops on offer. Thank you for delivering a well rounded session and thank you to everyone else present. I came away feeling more informed\, confident and reassured. This is probably the first time that I felt that others ‘got it’\, that I wasn’t alone and it has reassured me that I am heading in the right direction with the various strategies etc. Once again\, thank you for the professional delivery of the course and opportunity’ \n  URL:https://thecontentedchild.co.uk/event/anxiety-helping-children-to-cope-2-2-4-3-2-2-2-2-3-4-3-2-2-3-2/ LOCATION:Ramsgate Arts Primary Academy\, 140 Newington Road\, Ramsgate\, Kent CT12 6PT CATEGORIES:Anxiety ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thecontentedchild.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/anxiety.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Niki Green":MAILTO:info@thecontentedchild.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20190312T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20190312T150000 DTSTAMP:20260407T213335 CREATED:20171121T164222Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190311T110708Z UID:207262-1552395600-1552402800@thecontentedchild.co.uk SUMMARY:Anxiety – Helping Children to Cope (SOLD OUT) DESCRIPTION:  \nIN COLLABORATION WITH ST-NICHOLAS-AT-WADE PRIMARY SCHOOL\, BIRCHINGTON \n‘Anxiety is a thin stream of fears trickling through the mind.
