Does your child worry about school, friends, nightmares,
sleeping alone, robbers, etc.? If so, your child is not alone.
Childhood anxiety affects more children than ever before. It
is the number one referring concern for many child
psychologists. Anxiety can be a highly distressing problem
that can disrupt self-esteem, relationships, mood, school
performance, and even school attendance. But the good news is
that anxiety is treatable, and parents can be given tools to
minimize their child’s anxieties.
During this morning seminar, we will look at causes of
anxiety, how it affects the brain and the body, and most
importantly, what tools you and your child can use to minimize
the worry. The seminar format will be education, discussion,
and book reviews.
Sally Baird, Ph.D. has had a private practice in Federal Way
for over twenty years. She provides both evaluations and
therapy for clients of all ages with an emphasis on children
and teens. She has also been a school psychologist, parent
educator, psychologist consultant, and registered nurse.
