Mental Health Essentials for Parents: Knowledge and Skills to Support Your Child

May 11, 2022 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Expert

Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

Previously hosted live class. Access the recording and handouts by clicking on the Course Lesson below.

All children are sad, anxious, irritable, or aggressive at times. Occasionally kids find it challenging to sit still, pay attention, or interact with others. In most cases, these are just typical phases in their development. However, these behaviors may indicate a more serious problem in some children. Without attention, these mental health conditions can prevent children from reaching their full potential. 

Whether your child is doing fine and you want to  prevent future mental health issues, or your child just  doesn’t seem like their usual self, or has actually  declared suicidal thoughts, you can help.  

Participants in this class will be able to:

  • Identify and apply relationship strategies and everyday habits that support good mental health in children and teens. 
  • Recognize the impact of parents’ mental health on the family. 
  • Recognize and respond to signs in children and teens that more mental health support is needed.

Challenges & Solutions

Does your child have trouble making and keeping friends? 

Are you unsure about how to help? 

We all hope that our children will make meaningful connections with peers and mentors. When they struggle with making friends it is difficult not to worry. Often, our first instinct is to try to teach specific social skills and manners but the truth is that strong relationships come from the inside out. What we call charisma can be broken down into empathy and confidence. Self-awareness and self-acceptance are the foundation of your child’s social life.During this class you will gain practical skills to help your child: 

  • Build strong, healthy, lasting relationships 
  • Become more aware of himself and his surroundings 
  • Accept herself and those around her exactly as they are 
  • Specific steps to help them make and deepen connections

Strategies For Prioritizing Health & Wellness In A Positive Way

Join us for this quick, practical class, where we will: 

● Discover ways to speak about our bodies that encourage body positivity for our children

● Discuss the reasons why we need to model healthy behaviors for our children 

● Develop a plan to include quick healthy practices into your daily life and encourage healthy habits in your children without adding pressure or negative connotations.

Anxious Children: What Really Helps?

Does any of this sound like your child? 

  1. Clinging, crying and/or tantrums when you separate 
  2. Excessive shyness, avoiding social situations 
  3. Constant worry 
  4. Avoiding situations or places because of fears 
  5. Complaints of frequent stomach aches or headaches 
  6. Sudden and frequent panic attacks 

Your child may be struggling with anxiety. And you may feel frustrated and helpless. You are not alone. One in three children will experience an anxiety disorder before adulthood. Unless treated, many will grow up to be anxious adults. This class will help you better understand the nature of anxiety, refrain from reinforcing your child’s distress by accommodating behaviors, and apply simple strategies to handle day to day challenges.
