Karen Young Webinar – free parent session
We are thrilled to inform you about an upcoming webinar that promises to be incredibly insightful and beneficial for anyone raising or working with children. Renowned Psychologist and Author, Karen Young, will be hosting a webinar for parents on managing anxiety in children, and we strongly encourage all our parents to register.
Karen Young is well-known for her expertise in Child Psychology, particularly in helping children navigate the complexities of anxiety. Her approach is practical, compassionate, and deeply rooted in understanding the unique challenges our young people face today. This webinar is an opportunity for you to gain valuable insights and tools to support your children in managing their anxieties, whether big or small.
Recently, our teachers participated in a similar webinar led by Karen, and it was nothing short of transformative. The session was engaging, highly relevant to the realities our students face, and left us with a wealth of knowledge that has already made a positive impact in our classrooms. Beyond just professional development, it offered us, as both educators and parents, a deeper understanding of how anxiety can manifest in children and how we can best support them.
One of the standout aspects of Karen's approach is her ability to make complex psychological concepts accessible and actionable. She doesn’t just offer theoretical advice, she provides practical strategies that you can start using immediately to help your child feel more secure, confident, and capable of managing their worries.
Whether your child has expressed feelings of anxiety or you’re simply looking to equip yourself with knowledge to better support their emotional wellbeing, this webinar is an invaluable resource. Karen’s insights are not just for parents of children experiencing anxiety, but for all parents who wish to foster a supportive and understanding environment at home. We highly recommend setting aside the time to join this free session on offer as an investment in your child’s wellbeing and in your own journey as a parent.

Click here to read SchoolTV’s special edition report on Toxic Achievement Culture. It is a very interesting read that explores how there is nothing wrong with having ambition, but it's crucial to ensure that this desire doesn't push our young people into a toxic cycle of achievement and make them feel they must achieve in order to matter.
