Newswise — From bitten nails and stomachaches to all-night study sessions, our kids display their anxiety in a variety of ways. However, not all anxiety is bad. The Family Institute at Northwestern University is pleased to announce Straight A’s & Stressed: Navigating Childhood, Teen and Young Adult Anxiety, a presentation taking place on Thursday, April 10th at Exmoor Country Club in Highland Park, to address these issues.
During this event, Dr. Danielle Black, Director of the Child & Adolescent program, will help parents differentiate between normal worry for our children, teenagers and young adults as they face the pressures of school, sports and socializing, and more severe anxiety symptoms that may be signs of a larger issue. She will also explore how anxiety can be turned into a positive thing that can help your kids become successful.Located at Exmoor Country Club, 700 Vine Avenue, Highland Park, IL, the ticket price for this event is $25.00. Registration for this event begins at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday morning and the program will run to 12:30.
To register in advance or for more information about this event, the Circle of Knowledge Event Series, or The Family Institute at Northwestern University, please contact Michelle Weil, Development Associate, at 312-609-5300 ext. 480 or email [email protected].
