Peter Janetzki Workshop: Strong-Willed Children and Anxiety

Strong-Willed Children and Anxiety: Peter Janetzki
Strong willed children are often very challenging for parents and teachers, driving them to frustration and despair. With strong willed children they turn almost everything into a battle, a debate or a war, with their parents, teachers, siblings and peers. Parents and teachers soon discover that ultimatums and threats have little impact on these children, leaving them exhausted, depleted and at a loss at how to manage this type of child.

In this seminar Teachers and Support Staff, Counsellors, Chaplains, Parents and all who work with children will discover what is going on inside most strong willed children and its connection to anxiety, as well as strategies for better management of and engagement with strong willed children.

Presenter – Peter Janetzki holds a Master of Social Science (Counselling) from QUT and is a well known expert in his field.

Peter is now in private practice as a Counsellor and Educator and lectures in the School of Social Sciences at Christian Heritage College.
