Almost half of kids and teens with ADHD also meet criteria for an anxiety disorder. Anxiety is incredibly common — but the good news is that it’s also highly manageable with the right tools.

Join ADHDKC CHADD in this practical and empowering session, as Jennifer Dilts, DO, will guide parents through science-backed strategies to help kids and teens move through anxiety with confidence.  Learn how anxious brains and bodies work and how to respond in ways that build resilience rather than reinforce fear, including:

• How anxiety shows up in the brain and body
• Ways to respond with empathy while still encouraging growth
• Techniques for replacing unhelpful thought patterns
• Tools to build coping skills and emotional resilience
• Simple, effective relaxation strategies kids can actually use

You’ll leave with actionable tools and resources you can start using right away. Although this session focuses on kids and teens, these strategies are helpful for everyone—including parents—because we all experience stress and anxiety in our daily lives.
