This course is an eight-week hybrid course, meaning that in addition to the self-paced materials there are also optional live Zoom sessions (Tuesdays March 5, 12, 19, 26, and April 9, 16, 23, 30, and May 7) at noon ET (9:00 a.m. PT). This allows for lively and important interaction with the teacher and your course-mates.
Do you live or work with children whose anxiety is overwhelming them? Who shy away from participating in new activities or taking on challenges because they are afraid to fail? Whose behavior can be confusing and difficult to handle? Do you worry about your kids choosing harmful coping mechanisms as they struggle with the stress of their lives?
This guided online class addresses the most pressing topics affecting parents, caretakers, and children today. Join Jennifer Cohen Harper for weekly live sessions that explore embodied and effective ways to prepare children for anxiety-producing situations, navigate stress, reduce overwhelm and reactivity, and harness their capacity for self-compassion.
You'll walk away with:
- a new framework for relating to anxiety
- concrete practices to help your children learn to access their inner resources, calm their anxiety, transform their relationship to stress, and thrive even when life is challenging
- access to lessons and practices you can adapt to new challenges
- introductions to a community of caretakers and parents with similar challenges
- and more
This workshop is perfect for parents and caregivers, educators, health-care providers, counselors, coaches and others who find anxiety and stress impacting the children in their care. We can teach our children to better understand their own experience, and find effective ways to meet their needs and engage with their lives from a place of personal power and agency.
The class meets in real time on Tuesdays for discussion and activities that help support learning and enhance the practices and approaches taught by Jennifer Cohen Harper of Little Flower Yoga. In between the live sessions, you work independently through a robust eight-week curriculum featuring experts Dan Siegel, Rhonda V. Magee, Christopher Willard, and others. The course content will be relevant for children and teens, and you may just find some practical applications for navigating your own worries, as well.
Can't make a live session? No worries! The live discussions are recorded and posted within 24 hours to view when you can.
