Can primary school aged children really be burnt out? An increasing number of parents are saying that their children seem to be heading that way. They 'lose their spark' and don't enjoy things in the way that they used to. They are exhausted and lacking in energy. Some of them become completely unable to attend school and stop doing things they used to be able to do.
In this new course, Dr Naomi Fisher, clinical psychologist, will discuss burnout in children. What is burnout, how does it present and what can parents do about it? She'll discuss the factors which contribute to burnout and how parents can prevent it. She'll then move on to talking about children who are already burnt out and will give some tips for helping them to move towards recovery. You'll end with a framework for thinking about burnout and how to help your child move forwards.
This course is suitable for children with and without a diagnosis.
