In an age of increased anxiety, many children are being seen with excessive worrying. This can interfere with their ability to have the quality of life that children need to prosper and learn. As a play therapist, we have the tools to allow these children to work through the worry and, in addition, teach them through play how to minimize or discontinue worry and allow for positive thinking. This seminar will provide a learning experience that will enhance their abilities to treat children with this syndrome. Experiential techniques will be provided as well as illustrations via DVD presentations.
