“Transforming Anxiety into a Superpower” with Dr. Tracy Foose (Parent Education Presentation)
2024-02-01 18:30 - 20:00 | The Cove School, 330 Golden Hind Passage, Corte Madera, CA, 94925
Anxiety evolved to protect us, but nowadays, it’s a much-maligned emotion. This mind/body awareness of potential threats can feel so overwhelming and uncomfortable that it stops serving as a protective messenger and starts feeling like a menace. In our current mental health climate, it’s even been labeled an epidemic. Misunderstanding this emotion has made us anxious about anxiety itself. Kids… parents… we could all use a reset. Viewing anxiety from an evolutionary perspective helps us admire the human body’s natural response to threats with humor and awe and befriend the wild animal that lives beneath our skin. Anxiety can protect us, energize us, and show us what we hold dear in life. When we help our kids discover their anxiety’s purpose, we can teach them how to harness its power.
Before starting a psychiatry practice specializing in anxiety, Dr. Foose was director of the Anxiety Disorders Program at UCSF Weill Institute of Neurosciences, where she continues to teach at the school of medicine. Her favorite teaching gigs, however, are within her own community – speaking at schools, organizations, and guest appearances on NPR. She and her gastroenterologist husband are parents to a high schooler, middle schooler, and grade-schooler this year and delight in embarrassing their 3 daughters by gabbing about the brain and gut in very public settings.

Vigilant Parent Social Media Training Session
2024-03-26 18:00 - 19:30 | Kent Middle School, 800 College Ave, Kentfield, CA, 94904, United States
KSPTA is excited to host the Marin County Sheriff’s Office Vigilant Parent Program on March 26, in the Kent Library.
The Vigilant Parent Initiative is geared towards educating the community on social media and technology how-tos, prevention, awareness, and knowing how to talk to their child about protecting themselves online. Teaching kids how to password protect and maintain privacy online are part of parenting nowadays. Additionally, the Vigilant Parent initiative provides online safety training and identifies the signs to watch out for when a child may potentially be in danger on-line. The Sheriff’s office will train parents on popular apps like TikTok and Snapchat via hands-on, interactive learning and also provide the vocabulary that may be referenced by your child.
Parents are encouraged to start conversations with their children early and to keep up with the latest social media trends. The Sheriff’s office will provide 40 iPads for use during the session. Attendees are also free to bring their own devices
