Children practicing mindfulness together. Omega online learning

Discover a new framework to address childhood anxiety in this hybrid online course that includes live sessions with Jennifer Cohen Harper, educator, mindfulness and yoga instructor, and mother of two.

In this short video, hear what recent participants have to say about the course and Little Yoga Founder Jennifer Cohen Harper. This course offers you tools and insights to help kids feel more powerful and competent in the face of anxiety.

Do you live or work with children whose anxiety is growing or 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 an intentional curriculum with supportive live sessions that explore embodied and effective ways to prepare children and teens for anxiety-producing situations, navigate stress, reduce overwhelm and reactivity, and harness their capacity for self-compassion.

You 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

Who Should Attend? 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.

Course Schedule

The class meets once monthly from September through November for discussion and activities that help support learning and enhance the practices and approaches taught by Jennifer. In between the live sessions, you work independently at your own pace through a robust 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.

Who can benefit from this course?

This course is for anyone who spends time with children and adolescents personally or professionally, and wants to be able to offer them more effective support. Anxiety impacts children in a wide variety of ways, and learning to recognize and respond skillfully is a powerful tool. Parents and caregivers often join us, as do education and mental health care professionals. 

What ages of children or teens does this course support?

The course covers content that applies to children from pre-school through High-School (and many of the tools will be useful for adults as well!) but we find that the practices tend to land most powerfully for those from about 5-15. That said, we often branch into discussions about both younger and older children in the Q&A sessions. 

What tools will participants learn to support children experiencing anxiety or stress?

Nothing works for everyone, and this course is designed to offer a broad range of practices and perspectives so that you can explore what works best for the children in your care. You learn movement and breathing practices, mindfulness and guided visualizations, mind-set interventions, discussion skills that help you help more effectively, and much more. And of course these skills will help you navigate your own stress and anxiety, so that you can show up as fully present and resourced as possible. 

Is this course helpful for supporting children with ADHD or other regulation challenges?

It is. We have had many parents and educators join us who are supporting children with anxiety and neurodivergence as they often appear together. These skills are meant to be empowering and build capacity regardless of the starting point.
