Navigating School Anxiety With Padraig Danaher

This week on Perfectly Imperfect Parenting Mary was joined by Padraig Danaher, a Clinical Specialist Occupational Therapist, Positive Psychology Coach and Trauma Specialist. 

Having talked about separation anxiety last week, Padraig is here to give us his perspective on supporting these children for whom school based anxiety is a real struggle.

Padraig talked us through some clinically proven methods students can use to soothe their nervous systems. These practices should empower our teens with supports to deal with their anxiety. Padraig and Mary finished with a chat about the impact that a teens anxiety about school has on the whole family – the message was: you are doing enough; you are enough.
