This webinar will provide nursery managers, practitioners, early years teachers and early years support staff with a more detailed understanding of how anxiety can manifest in the very young – and how, without adequate supported, it can severely impact on learning and development.

Figures from the Local Government Association’s ‘Bright Futures’ campaign clearly indicate that number of referrals to children’s mental health services is rising sharply year on year. Understanding how anxiety can present during the early years stage – and the kinds of effects it can have on its sufferers – provides an opportunity for those who teach and interact with young children to respond in effective ways which support the child in need.

In this webinar, Catrina Lowri, an experienced special needs teacher and SENDCo, explores what anxiety actually is, what responses it triggers in the brain and the body, and why these reactions can vary – along with discussing how to formulate an effective, supportive plan for your setting.
