Seminar for Parents

Laois Education Centre in partnership with the Triple P Parenting Programme are delivering a Fear-Less Seminar over 2 nights which will offer Parents of children 4 – 14 years of age tips and strategies to help their children to manage their anxiety and provide practical evidence-based tips for parents and carers in these uncertain times.

Parenting during the COVID-19 pandemic is a unique challenge for all parents, caregivers and families. Children and parents are anxious, and families are under pressure like never before.
Being a parent to a child/teenager who is experiencing anxiety can be tough. Anxious children / teenagers can seek constant reassurance have outbursts of anger / frustration and can feel sick when worried. Parenting has a crucial role to play in mitigating the potential long-term negative impacts of COVID-19 on children, particularly in relation to mental health.

DATE: 13th & 14th May (over 2 evenings)
Time: 7.30pm-8.30pm each evening
