How the program will help:

  • Adult-child interaction will provide immediate reinforcement for brave/positive/social thinking skills
  • Play experiences will focus on understanding anxiety and how the brain works
  • Use of cognitive behavioural therapeutic techniques (WorryWoo plush, props, books, role play, games, science) will provide a fun way to understand and cope with thoughts, feelings & behaviour.
  • Sharing of group experiences will increase situational learning.
  • Experiences will reveal each child’s strengths and challenges in social interactions, conflict resolution, listening, sense of control, understanding of emotions, and frustration tolerance

Goals:

  • Increase child understanding of anxiety, negativity of thought and self-doubt
  • Increase child’s ability to identify and apply social skills
  • Increase each participants ability to cope with anxiety/negativity
  • Build confidence and a positive sense of self
  • Increase participant awareness of the connection between anxiety, insecurity and avoidance
  • Advance empathy and perspective taking
  • Advance parent/carer understanding of their child’s thinking processes, feelings & behaviour along with tools to promote brave behaviour, coping mechanisms, positive thinking & social skills.
