Stratégies parentales pour apprivoiser le stress et l’anxiété – Joël Monzée et collaborateurs

Parenting Strategies for Coping with Stress and Anxiety

For twenty years, the number of students receiving child psychiatric diagnoses has continued to grow. In fact, the world we live in is increasingly complex and both children and adolescents are encountering more and more challenges to develop in a healthy and serene way.

Today, some 23% of young people are affected by ADHD and 17% by generalized anxiety, not counting other psychosocial challenges and health issues (ISQ, 2018). And more and more adults are on medication to cope with family and professional challenges. If we took action these days, the statistics would be even more frightening, as children and teenagers have had to deal with health measures that greatly disrupt their needs in terms of overall development.

In addition, we learned that 28% of students encountered vulnerabilities in their spheres of development as soon as they entered kindergarten, while 25% of students were rated HDAA in primary school and 35% in secondary school, while there are three times more dropout among those with broad cognitive or artistic abilities. In addition, both parents and caregivers experience a lot of pressure in terms of performance and sometimes expect behaviors that are not yet neurologically possible, without this being a pathology.

All in all, the challenges are getting bigger and bigger for the members of the school teams to intervene in an effective and benevolent manner. Fortunately, the neurosciences have experienced incredible growth in explaining the stages of affective development related to both attentional and executive functions, but also the skills and essential conditions for promoting school perseverance.

• How to help them?
• How to accompany them so that they develop their resources?
• How to prevent and channel these disturbing emotional states?
• How to tame your emotions and use them as allies, rather than ignoring or hiding them?

Description :

In fact, stress and anxiety are part of the human experience to allow it to adapt to events. However, society is increasingly complex, difficult and breathtaking. Little by little, the symptoms of anxiety and anxiety attacks in students are becoming more and more pervasive. In this exclusive training program led by Joël Monzée and his guests, explore the discoveries offered by affective and social neuroscience to tame states of stress and anxiety, in order to channel reactivity towards constructive behaviors and attitudes.

This training will help you better understand the functioning of the brain of children and teenagers, but also of adults (parents and members of the school team), in order to thwart their modes of defense. By learning to decode students’ fears, needs and lacks, it will be easier for you to help them channel their stress and anxiety, in order to improve their availability for learning and living together in a group-class or their family.

We will therefore explore how the brain of young and old develops and changes over the years and how the stages of maturation directly influence their emotional and social availability, in the family, at school and in society. By better understanding the indicators of normality or abnormality, it will then be easier – for the psychosocial intervener in the school environment – to select a direction of educational or therapeutic intervention. The treatment plan will thus be more consistent with the real needs of the accompanied person.

Through 10 toolboxes, scenarios and videos illustrating various educational or therapeutic intervention practices, you will discover effective strategies both for taking care of yourself and for offering structuring resources to young people (and their parents ) you accompany, as well as to adults affected by an invasive mental load, an anxiety disorder, an adjustment disorder (with or without depressed moods or oppositional behaviors), anxiety attacks, vagal shocks, etc.

Goals :

• Identify the sources of stress, anxiety and anxieties, as well as the modes of defense sometimes confused with other mental disorders.
• Detect the disruptors of emotional development during the schooling of students and modulate the educational strategies prescribed in the intervention plans.
• Intervene effectively to develop student resources.
• Expand intervention resources with 10 toolkits to provide strategies tailored to students’ age, preferences, and needs, either to apply strategies at school or to suggest to parents.

Online training in 20 interactive modules:

Develop your expertise directly at home or from your office thanks to this training of more than 45 hours of video training (theoretical models, neurological processes, therapeutic strategies adapted to the age of your patients, etc.). Available at least 3 years after purchase, you will then be able to:

• better understand how the brain develops over the years and what are the developmental needs of children and adolescents so that they are involved in their school career in a responsible way;
• better understand how the brain confuses danger with reality and triggers unwanted behaviors.
• identify stressors and disruptors to inspire your group animations and modify what can be;
• discover effective strategies to temper the defense mechanisms and to develop their potential and their involvement in their school and social life, in order to maximize the resources aimed at educational success;
• distinguish the indexes of opposition, hyperactivity and impulsivity from those of stress and anxiety to identify more clearly the adaptations to be made to support students.
