This practical webinar will help teachers, parents, and speech-language pathologists recognize common anxiety presentations in children ages 3–14, including clinginess, perfectionism, reassurance-seeking, physical complaints, avoidance, and reluctance to speak or participate. Participants will explore how these behaviors may relate to typical developmental worries, emerging anxiety disorders, OCD-related concerns, ADHD, learning disabilities, and communication differences.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmphasizing practical, evidence-based strategies over diagnosis alone, this presentation will explain how avoidance and accommodation can unintentionally reinforce anxiety and how gradual exposure, positive reinforcement, and distress tolerance can foster bravery. Participants will also learn ways to collaborate across home, school, and therapeutic settings and briefly consider how adults’ own anxiety may influence their responses. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies for encouraging children’s confidence, celebrating effort, and building bravery through small, supported steps—because anxiety is best addressed as a village.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003ePresenter Bio: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Michele Bechor is a licensed psychologist specializing in the assessment and treatment of anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and related concerns in children, adolescents, and young adults.
