When children experience worry, fear, or anxiety, knowing how to respond can make a meaningful difference. This hands-on, interactive workshop will give parents practical tools for supporting children through anxious moments while helping them build confidence, resilience, and healthy coping skills. Through discussion, activities, and real-life scenarios, Parent Coach, Licensed Counselor, and Founder of Teen Savvy Coaching Samantha Straub will help parents better understand what can ease anxiety, what can unintentionally reinforce it, and how thoughtful responses can help children learn to manage uncomfortable feelings and move through challenges with greater confidence.

 

Parents will have opportunities to practice strategies they can use in the moment and explore ways to encourage growing independence and resilience over time. The goal is for every parent to leave with concrete, research-informed ideas they can put to use at home right away.

 

 

 

Stress is a natural part of growing up, and not all stress is bad. The challenge is helping teens recognize when pressure can motivate growth and when it begins to feel overwhelming.

 

In this hands-on, interactive workshop, Parent Coach, Licensed Counselor, and Founder of Teen Savvy Coaching Samantha Straub will help parents better understand how teens experience and respond to stress and share practical ways to support them through pressure, setbacks, and everyday challenges. Through activities and real-life scenarios, parents will explore strategies for helping teens develop healthy coping skills, confidence, problem-solving abilities, and emotional flexibility.

 

The goal isn’t to remove every obstacle from a teen’s path, but to help young people develop the skills and self-awareness to navigate challenges, recover from setbacks, and keep moving forward. Parents will leave with concrete tools they can use at home today while helping their teens build resilience for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
