Our children are doing their best, but they don't have all the tools we have at our disposal to negotiate, manage, and solve their problems effectively. When the child is trying to solve their problem, they may resort to tantruming, lying, threatening, hiding. Let's uncover their motivation - what is bothering the child? Then, we can help them develop skills to deal with that problem and actually turn this into a positive parenting intervention!

Kids show anxiety in many ways, and this list covers a few that I see often. A dad asked me today "How do parents know if their child needs help for anxiety?"
Usually, parents start to feel overwhelmed by the extent of their child's anxiety and his inability to calm down. It feels like more than regular "childhood fears".

Anxiety is an emotion related to fear that develops somewhere along our journey through life to help us 👍 - but sometimes gets in our way instead 😢 (or our loved ones find it a pain!). Similarly to fear, you can feel anxiety in your body. Where do you experience anxiety in your body?
Gaining self awareness about your anxiety is the first step in helping yourself cope better! ❤️❤️

Stop for a moment and think about what qualities and characteristics your child possesses that are truly great. Especially intense children! Think creatively - for example, if he can tantrum for an hour straight, he must possess passion and determination - both great life qualities... Getting the drift?

The Nurtured Heart Approach created by Howard Glasser is a transformative way to infuse your child with a sense of her greatness. If you haven't yet, I highly recommend buying his book "All Children Flourishing."

Do you feel like crying when your child has a meltdown? That's NORMAL!
However, when you can stay calm, you are demonstrating real-life emotional regulation. Your child's mirror neurons will get activated and it will be easier for him to calm down (vs. if you are freaking out!).
