Monica has presented to both students and parents in the past. She is always well received and parents have found her talks extremely valuable. It will be time well spent!
What will be covered!
Most children now get their first Smart Phone well before Secondary school, and problems with anxiety, self-esteem, peer pressure, social media, isolation and the like, have escalated at a worrying pace. Monica will share what thousands of children around the country say they find challenging and causes them anxiety, and she will give some helpful tips on how to greatly lessen the impact of these anxieties. Monica will have worked with your children before this talk, and you might be surprised at what many say they would like to change in their lives, but are struggling to do so. Many students around the country say they need help in certain areas, but are very reluctant to ask for it. While some of what Monica has to say may shock you, she will share some communication tips and skills that will really help you to be successful with any conversations you have with your children going forward.
Monica will be working with our some of our students on Monday 11th during school time and has met many more students in previous years.
