Afraid to Try, Too Quick to Cry
For parents of children ages 3-12
Does your child seem more anxious than his peers? Some children are naturally more anxious and easily troubled. In this one hour workshop you'll find what works to inspire and encourage your remarkable child, especially when she is fearful or tearful. You'll learn strategies to:
- Help children to talk about, and understand, their emotions
- Help children identify first, the feelings, and then, the problem
- Encourage and support your children as they successfully deal with their problems independently
Your enrollment includes both the video and a downloadable audio version of the workshop and handouts.
Your Instructor
When Emory was feeling utterly overwhelmed by her strong-willed two-year-old, she took her first parenting classes at the Parent Encouragement Program (PEP). After blazing through the program, she went on to become one of their most active Certified Parent Educators in 1995. Her experiences with teaching parents inspired her to want to do even more to help families, leading Emory to seek training as a family therapist. In 2004, she earned her Masters Degree in Couples and Family Therapy from the University of Maryland.
Over the years, Emory has provided therapy to hundreds of individuals and families and taught more than 1500 parents how to create happier and more highly functioning families. Many people have gotten to know Emory through her writing. Since 2005, she has written a monthly column in the Voice Newspapers and in the Washington Parent magazine
Emory is licensed as a Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist in both the State of Maryland and the State of New York. She is a clinical member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
