Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths.

Guide me in Your truth, and teach me, for You are God my Savior,

and my hope is in You all day long.

Psalm 25: 4-5

Program Description

A comprehensive series of teaching, parenting, and learning strategies that address the challenges facing today’s Catholic school families.

7 February - Parents

https://calendly.com/drjulesnolan/dnu-feb-stress-anxiety-motivation-for-parents

Stress and Anxiety are more prevalent now in the lives of school-aged children than ever before. How does perfectionism play into our child's stress and anxiety? How can we teach motivation without feeding perfectionism? This session will address behavioral and biological factors that influence the development of anxiety and perfectionistic tendencies. You will leave with concrete, parenting strategies to combat stress, anxiety, and perfectionism, and learn how to foster self-motivation in our children.
