100% of people feel anxiety.
When anxiety stops us from living the life we want to live. Or stops kids from being able to separate from parents. Stops kids from going to school or making friends, then some intervention and support is needed to manage this big feeling.
Like any big feeling, we know those big behaviors are usually nearby.
Anxiety may look like shutting down, refusing to participate. It also could look like anger and aggression. So many behaviors with the same underlying feeling: anxiety.
Learn your child's patterns of anxiety, what is happening in their body and how to support them through these uncomfortable feelings.
Help Children Face their Anxieties
Typically kids who have anxiety avoid the thing they are anxious about. When we let them avoid it, it actually reinforces it, and then the anxiety goes up. This unknowingly strengthens the avoidance response
Learn the role our body plays in anxiety
When we can understand what's going on inside the body during anxious moments, we can better know how to handle someone when they are feeling this way. And we can learn tools to regulate our bodies (instead of just changing our thoughts).
Learn Strategies to Support Your Child
When anxiety inevitably shows up, be confident in supporting your child through it. Often we teeter on the edge of forcing them to do something or avoiding it together at the hands of anxiety. What if there was a third option? Supporting them through it and learning together.
