Action Your Potential - build child resilience
17th October 2024
Dear Parents and Carers,
Action Your Potential is running a course for our parents and carers in October and November. Please find below details from Andrew at Action Your Potential explaining what the course is about.
Building Resilience Programme for Primary Parents and Carers
At AYP we're all about helping people understand their amazing brains. We're excited to be bringing you this course. Our work takes us all over the country working in 180 schools. What we see is increasingly anxious and risk-averse teenagers. This is happening for lots of complex reasons. We are putting on this course for parents and carers of children at primary school because we want to help get in front of that tide of worry and anxiety that seems to be blighting the lives of so many young people.
Here is a video from Andrew explaining what the course is all about.
In this course we will teach you about the human worry system, how it works, when it comes on, the kinds of thoughts, feelings and behaviours we experience when it is active and crucially how to manage our worry system. In our schools we teach literacy, numeracy and science, but we don't yet teach about how our brains work. For most of you reading this you didn't even know we had a worry system, learning to manage it is one of the most important skills we can teach our children. You will learn
You can also sign up to the course via this link or via the link in the poster.
AYP also has an app, which you can use to help track you and your child's well-being and we also have a podcast. You can find out more about our passionate mission to help everyone to become a #NeuroNinja at our website.
