Growing Up Brave: Expert Strategies For Helping Your Child Overcome Fear, Stress, And Anxiety

Join the Westford Parent Connection for an evening with Dr. Donna Pincus, director of the Child And Adolescent Fear And Anxiety Treatment Program at Boston University. One in five children today suffers from a diagnosed anxiety disorder, and countless others suffer from anxiety that interferes with critical social, emotional, academic, and physical development. Dr. Pincus, nationally recognized anxiety expert, guides parents in identifying and understanding anxiety in their children. She outlines effective parenting techniques for reducing anxiety and shows parents how to promote bravery for long-term confidence. Tickets are just $5 each and available at the door that evening. For more information, visit the Child Anxiety Network at http://www.childanxiety.net. Dr. Pincus' presentation is made possible by the Westford Parent Connection.
