Anxious Anna: The Impact of Anxiety in Underachievement and How to Change it in Counseling

We bring you a toolbox developed in our clinical practice where we work with gifted children, often underachieving students, and their parents and teachers. Our work is evidence-based (e.g. Desmet, McCoach, Siegle, Snyder). Our Superhero, Anxious Anna, will show you the way to better well-being and self-efficacy. We developed methods to enable gifted children with anxiety issues to build their self-assessment. We have been working with it since 2016 and have seen hundreds of children grow. We ask for your active participation in this workshop. In return, we will offer you our ebook, “Smart Ways to Change Gifted Underachievement.”
