Anxiety ~ What You and Your Child Need to Know
Anxiety 101 ~ what should you know?
Anxiety is normal. Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time. I too get anxious if i’m thinking about something i don’t want to have happen… AND, It alerts us to threats, protects us from danger and helps us reach important goals. Not all anxiety is bad… it can also mean excitement! For example, it is normal to feel anxious or scared when encountering a bear on a hike.
Anxiety is not dangerous. Although anxiety feels uncomfortable, it is temporary and will eventually decrease. The sensations we experience in an anxious situation are designed to alert and activate us. They are normal and part of our body’s natural response mechanism. Our body is smart enough to know when to “amp up” and when to “calm down.” Deep breathing helps as well as changing your focus and thinking.
Anxiety is part of life. Trying to eliminate anxiety from your child’s life is almost impossible, and learning to cope as well as learning strategies is very useful. Since anxiety is everywhere, one of the greatest gifts you can give your anxious child or teen is the confidence and skill to gain control over their anxiety whenever it occurs, and to continue living his/her life anyway!
Anxiety can become a problem. Small doses of anxiety in certain situations are useful. However, when your child is worrying much of the time, avoiding fun activities, or refusing to go to school because s/he is scared or worried, anxiety has become a problem. If it’s getting in the way of everyday life, then its a problem that needs to be addressed.
I teach parents and their children how to cope and deal with anxiety once and for all. I use NLP Coaching, and Time Line Therapy to teach kids and adults alike on how to go into their future time line to get rid of their anxiety… If needed i’ll also do hypnosis to reinforce positive behaviors and let go of anxiety/stress/nervousness using this method.
