I love having a ton of strategies to work from, but it’s very hard to pick out what skills will work for kids from those overwhelming lists.

I flew to New York and presented a day-long seminar on the topic of Anxiety, ADHD and Anger in the Classroom. I created this presentation not only to introduce and discuss coping skills but also give professionals an opportunity to try some of the coping skills before presenting them to their students.
