1-2 hours per week. To deepen the impact of class work, homework sheets and projects will be assigned to students to work on during the week. The work does not need to be turned in. I will release videos for students to view each week, where I will go over that week's homework. Students will be most successful if parents are involved in this process.Class Experience
Childhood anxiety can be crippling for children and distressing for parents. Having the opportunity to share their worries with others and find strength in unity can be profoundly helpful for children. In this course, we will focus on learning how and why worry happens and developing coping strategies that will help alleviate the symptoms of participants. Anxiety is complex and can stem from a variety of sources. For the purposes of this course, we will not be digging into the root causes of each student's worry. However, children will be asked to reflect on personal fears and may choose to share if they are comfortable doing so. Parents will be asked to be involved partners in helping their children be successful in their classroom work by practicing learned skills with them. Week One: Introduction Getting to know you Week Two: Understanding worry and its physical symptoms Extension exercises Week Three: Mindfulness Extension exercises Week Four: Avoidance and getting back in the game Extension exercises Week Five: Thinking errors (part 1) Grounding Extension exercises Week Six: Thinking errors (part 2) Extension exercises Week Seven: Challenging thoughts Extension exercises Week Eight: Self-rescue Extension exercises Week Nine: Movement Practice exercises Week Ten: Gratitude Creative expression Wrap up and group closure As this is a flex class, there are no live meetings. Students may complete class work on their own schedule, but will be expected to move forward at the weekly pace of the class to allow for discussion and ensure understanding. Each week, students will be asked to work through a lesson that will be posted in the Oustchool classroom. Lessons will include a lecture video and assignments that correspond with the teaching. Students will be expected to answer interactive questions and encouraged to engage in on-topic conversation in the Outschool classroom. Families choose flexible format (FLEX) classes for many reasons. The most common, being the opportunity to access course material at their convenience and not have to schedule around the class. Flex courses can be taken anytime, anywhere! Additionally, sensitive subject areas are difficult for some students to discuss in person (such as behavioral health or puberty). Flex classes give students a measure of anonymity that can be comforting. Students enrolled in this class will have ample opportunity to interact through discussion questions. I respond to student answers on a near-daily basis. I enjoy the opportunity to take time answering each student's questions that the flex format affords me!
