Parenting When Anxiety Shows Up As Anger

December 2-17, 2026 6:30pm – 8:00pm

Anxiety in our kids can show up as anger, and that can make parenting extra challenging. Learn from Karen Peters, Registered Clinical Counsellor, to discover some strategies that can help us before, during, and after these hard moments.

We invite you to join us and other families in a supportive space where your voice and perspective truly matter. Together, we’ll watch a video and share strategies to help navigate those hard moments, and focus on strengthening our understanding and connection with our kids.

Whether you have questions or unique ideas from your own journey, your contributions are a valuable part of our conversation. This inclusive, supported discussion is gently facilitated by a FamilySmart Family Peer Support Worker who understands the challenges we face as parents.

There are multiple sessions available:

  1. December 2, 2026 | 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm PST
