On Thursday, December 4, 2014, representatives from Syntero (formerly Northwest Counseling Services) will present "Helping Your Child Develop Coping Strategies to Manage Stress and Anxiety" in the Grandview Heights High School Auditorium located at 1587 West Third Avenue, Columbus, Ohio.  Speakers will focus on students in grades K-5 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and on students in grades 6-12 from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Children are experiencing symptoms of stress and anxiety at younger ages than ever before. Learn how to recognize and respond to your child’s worries and fears. Topics will include: helping your child develop cognitive skills to develop a more realistic and flexible mindset, managing negative self-talk and putting things into perspective, learning mindfulness skills to calm your child’s anxious mind and get out of the cycle of worry and rumination, stress management skills to teach your child to take care of himself everyday with relaxation, self- soothing and pleasurable activities, and learning behavior skills for your child to stop avoiding fear and confront anxiety in a safe way.
