The Resilience Ladder: How to Overcome Anxiety

Anxiety can be a huge challenge for neurodivergent children…and their families. It can feel overwhelming, confusing and never-ending. But there IS a way forwards, and you don’t have to let anxiety hold your child back.

We welcome child educational psychologist Nadia du Plessis to give a masterclass on how anxiety shows up for your child, the impacts it can have and - most importantly - how you can help your child build true resilience and take back control of their thoughts and emotions.

Nadia reveals:

🏷️ How ‘anxiety’ can be an extremely heavy label to burden child with, when it could be defined as a different emotion.

🎢 Spotting the difference between ‘normal’ rollercoaster emotions and anxiety disorder emotions.

📈 Why neurodivergent children may experience more anxiety on a regular basis.

🔍 The hidden signs & behaviours to look out for in order to understand whether your child is suffering from anxiety.

🎚️ Why anxiety is NOT always about the child who is naughty or disobedient, and is more about control

🪫 The phenomenons of ‘emotional blindness’ and ‘neurodivergent burnout’ and how they can impact neurodivergent children.

😵‍💫 How to deal with ‘end of year’ chaos when there is too much to do and too little time.
