Does your child struggle with anxiety that impacts their daily functioning? Does your child often feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or overly reliant on you? Do you, as a parent, find yourself constantly managing your child's anxiety, catering to their needs to avoid distress, just to get through the day? Most parents accommodate because they don't want their children to suffer. However, accommodating your child's anxiety can actually reinforce their symptoms, potentially worsening them over time. In this parenting boot camp, we will explore:
• What is anxiety, and can it be beneficial?
• How does anxiety affect your child's brain?
• What sustains and exacerbates anxiety?
• How can you help your children regulate their emotions and build resilience?
• How can you reduce their dependence on you to lessen anxiety
• How can you set and maintain personal boundaries to support both you and your child?
By the end of this boot camp, you will gain tools and strategies to help your child manage their anxiety more effectively. You will also learn ways to build their self-esteem and encourage independence so your child can thrive with greater confidence and autonomy.
