Teenage Anxiety – Understanding the Impact and Building Strategies to Thrive with Tracy Mapp #Sittingbourne
Up to 1 in 3 teenagers struggle with chronic anxiety – overwhelming feelings of worry, fear and panic that can make daily life immensely difficult to navigate. Without support, living with persistent anxiety can result in complex and unhelpful patterns of behaviour developing and often results in a negative cycle of isolation feeding the anxiety. Positively, there are l...ots of effective techniques that can help teenagers reduce feelings of anxiety and learn how to keep them from taking over. This workshop explores the wide ranging factors that can impact on anxiety levels and helps participants to develop understanding of the impact this can have on teenagers. Participants will leave with a ‘toolbox’ of resources that teenagers can use on their own or with a support person to help them deal with the day to day challenges of anxiety and break free of negative cycles. Parking is free at this venue. https://thecontentedchild.co.uk/…/teena ge-anxiety-understa…/

EMOTIONAL REGULATION (includes anger and anxiety) with NIKI GREEN #Canterbury
Also available in #Canterbury, #Ashford, #Sittingbourne, #Thanet
SUITABLE FOR PARENTS AND PROFESSIONALS
... For many pupils to thrive and succeed within the home and school setting, they need to have developed an ability to manage/regulate their emotions so that they are able to learn and achieve.
An original version of the intervention written by Niki Green has been successfully implemented in many local schools and Niki is now running a new enhanced version of the original program in several other Shepway schools with measured impact. The original version is being 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. Delegates 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. Pupils will create a workbook and be introduced to a variety of visual supports which can be used as a management tool by setting staff and enable consistency in approach. This programme can be adapted for small group work. £25 per person to include extensive resources. https://thecontentedchild.co.uk/…/emoti onal-regulation-inc…/

What a brilliant course very informative looking forward to the Emotions course

Went on the anxiety workshop in Capel today. Excellent information and delivery. Reminded of things that I have forgotten, learned new techniques and met mums in similar positions. I feel more informed and confident! Thank you! X

The A-Z of dyslexia was fantastic learnt so much. Thank you natalie for explaining it all so clearly and making easier for us to understand. Will be keeping am eye out for more useful information on the page

Thank you so much to Natalie I learnt more in the last 2 hours about dyslexia and how to support my son then I ever thought I would. I just wish I’d done the course sooner! I highly recommend the course it’s the best thing you can do if you suspect or know your child has dyslexia. Thank you again.

Thank you so much to Emma who delivered ODD training to our team yesterday at our Therapeutic Community.



You are clearly very committed to your work and this was evident in the delivery of the training.



Our team have already utilised some of the suggested strategy's and have seen positive outcomes in a short space of time. We all learned many valuable skills and have taken on board advice, which I'm confident will continue forward in our daily work with our young people.



Thank you again, a very enjoyable training.

Really enjoyed this mornings session, thank you. The ideas and knowledge that Niki shared with the group was fantastic. She created a trusting environment where people were able to share their experiences without feeling they were being judged by anyone else, and were offered advice in relation to these. The resources were an added bonus � thank you for a great 3 hours.

My husband and I attended the A-Z dyslexia workshop yesterday with Natalie. If was definitely worthwhile, learnt so much more than we already knew, got some great ideas and new strategies to help support our daughter. My husband is also dyslexic and it was interesting to see how he can support her from his own dyslexic stance - we both learnt loads!! Even if you’ve done loads of research you will definitely benefit from this workshop. I’d love for our school teachers and TA’s to attend so they are better prepared to support these children, I will definitely be sharing with them. Thanks Natalie and The Contented Child xx

My daughter has just finished her 6 week 1:1 sessions with Niki and the difference in her anxiety, anger and whole attitude to life is unbelievable, we can't thank you enough. The coping strategies you have taught her have changed her life. Thank you Niki x

In the past 2 weeks I have attended two different workshops run by the contented child. As a therapeutic foster carer working with children with difficult early experiences and ASD,ADHD plus other conditions it has been immensely useful to my toolkit to experience and learn from such skilled and knowledgeable trainers. I have been fostering and going on training for the past 15 years and this is some of the best training I have encountered. Highly recommend to anyone working with children seeking the best outcomes for them.

I can't thank Niki enough for all the help, advice, understanding and guidance she has given myself and my family. Helping us all to understand our sons anxiety and emotions, has been a godsend. I have now attended 2 courses (Anxiety & Emotional Regulation) run by The Contented Child, and would highly recommend both, as well as the 1 to 1 sessions. Thank you Niki, you have been there for us when we needed you most.

I attended the “Anxiety, Helping a Child to Cope” in February. I was amazed by how many parents are experiencing the same types of anxiety issues in their children, made you feel like you were not on your own. I’ve searched the Internet myself for solutions but Nikki, the speaker gave us some great techniques and tools to try and recommended resources such as books, toys and exercises, which I’m already trialling such as the 20 second hug, wow book, society stories etc. Also useful is how Nikki explained how anxiety affects different parts of the the brain and how this translates into a child’s brain, made me really think of when I see my daughter struggling with anxiety. Totally recommend, great value.

I attended the Emotional Regulation course on in Margate on 24th. It was fantastic and I am already seeing changes from implementing just a couple of the strategies I learnt. I am very keen to attend more courses next year.

Fantastic course at St Margaret's today. Thanks for a great morning. Lots of ideas and practical suggestions.

Fantastic course - can definitely recommend and I will certainly attend more courses 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 I felt that others ‘got it’, that I wasn’t alone and it has reassured me that I’m heading in the right direction with the various strategies etc. Once again, thank you for the professional delivery of the course and opportunity.

Excellent course on dealing with anxiety. Highly recommend it.

Contented Child have run courses at my school that have given parents the tools to support their children and a better understanding of their emotions and behaviour as well as giving them an insight as to how their own responses affect their child. Parents come away feeling empowered and more confident. One parent said to me that she "learned more about myself and my children in one session than I have from years of counselling". Contended Child are like super heroes flying in and trouble shooting where everything else has failed. They are simply amazing!

Cannot thank Niki enough....you have been amazing. Thank you from us all....I am.always recommending you!

Came away from todays anxiety course with lots of information and strategies. So pleased i attended. Thank you

Been on two courses now and will definitely be on more. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for advice and strategies for their children or who just want more of an understanding of different areas for professional development. Great delivery from both Niki and Kerry in a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Thank you ladies x
