What CBSD Counselors Say About Anxiety and Children
In the coming months we will provide strategies for parents in helping children learn to navigate through anxiety in a healthy way. Your job as a parent is NOT to rescue or prevent your child from feeling distress. Your job is to model, teach, and support your child with active coping skills. Your reaction to your child’s response to stress is what he/she sees first.
What is anxiety?
Healthy anxiety
Motivating
Fluctuates in response to stress
Mild – enhances performance
Excessive anxiety
Persists over an extended period of time
Does not fluctuate as a response – is more chronic
Interferes with performance
Mindfulness and the Prefrontal Cortex
MAKING HONESTY EASY
