How to Help a Child With Anxiety: A Parent-Centered Approach to Managing Children’s Anxiety Part 1/4

I know everyone just goes to doctor but you need to find out if your child is a projector - please look into human design. It'll keep them from running away to drugs or suicide. You'll keep your child from suffering - I absolutely PROMISE.

I now know I was an extremely anxious child and my parents didn’t have the tools or knowledge to help me. Only a few years ago when my anxiety was trigger by other life events and thanks to my therapist I realised it all started as a kid. Watching these videos help me understand myself as a child and heal that little girl. I work in re parenting myself and tell her she’s safe and love and protected. ❤Thank you for this series.

OMG thank you so much for creating this content ❤❤❤❤

I am so grateful for your videos and information. I am only at the beginning of the journey to help my child, and only just started watching your videos but already I find it really enlightening. In fact I started changing my own reaction to it ❤

Thank you for all your amazing videos. I have a question. My teenage son just started therapy for health anxiety. The therapist has seen him twice. This has been through my work EAP benefits. Is it typical for the therapist to want to recommend a teen get a diagnosis after seeing him twice?

“I want you to know that it’s not your fault”

“Step 1: it’s probably your fault and you taught them fear when they were toddlers.”

Drat.

Where can I find part 2 please

Quiet, the highly sensitive kids and good inside

Have dealt with anxiety since a very young age. No one listened or understood. Missed alot of school. Alot of stomach issues and diarrhea was the norm

Having met people with extremely anxious parents and how they pass their fears on to their children, especially the paranoia, the need to protect, it destroys lives, a woman had two kids, seven year old boy and eleven year old daughter, just the way she conversed with them, it wasn't conversational, it was dictatorial, constantly barking instructions at them both, neither of them had the slightest gram of self confidence, couldn't even order their own food in the takeaway, no friends outside of school, just the complete opposite of what kids that age should be. I baby sat one night, and took them out and gave them no reins, let the do what ever they wanted to under supervision. They've had fun and posted all their adventures on socials. Mommy found out, and boom that was me done, enemy number one, to say the next time I sat them was a little different would be an understatement. The worst thing was she knew exactly what she was doing to her kids, she almost used her own fear and anxiety like she thought it was a superpower, a method of control, so much so that the same psychological methods of oppression and control she used on them, they have then tried using on me. So she had been told that what she was doing was not only OK, it was a superpower and could be used to control others, and was now teaching her kids the same. Give you one guess how those kids end up. I couldn't even stay friends with her, for me it was child abuse. Literally nurturing her own children to hate. Future haters already among us.

What about generalized anxiety? I think all of this works for occasional, situational anxiety, but not for generalized anxiety

Wow, I learned more in these 4 videos than any of my own classes, groups, or therapy. Now I can better help my child & myself as well!

I am currently 23 and have been experiencing really severe anxiety for as long as i can remember. I no longer blame my parents or hold any anger towards them, but they definitely did not support me or help in the way i believe a parent should help their child manage their anxiety. In fact, they often rejected me, told me i was stupid, and said to stop bothering them (my anxiety usually surfaced at night.) They actually used to threaten me and say "ILL SEND YOU TO THERAPY IF YOU DONT STOP ACTING LIKE SUCH A BRAT". I wish they had. Years later, im still struggling with managing my own anxiety. I experience it every day and it causes so much pain and distress. Anyway, Im on the journey by myself now and am working towards becoming a parenting researcher/advisor. Thank you so much for your content, its been teaching me so much!❤

I have been learning so much about myself so I can teach my kids. So grateful! It's also been really great for my mental health and other relationships.

I want to change the world too!! 😭😭

I call my sensitive child my "tender heart" ❤️

How i can find the part 2 ?

If you need hope in your life, turn to Jesus. Seek and you WILL find.

I found this to help myself bc my mom doesnt believe it

I realize this is an older video, but hoping I still get a response. I've watched all 4 videos in the series. Anxiety is a feeling and our minds way of making us check for danger, that makes sense to me. But, where I struggle with my child is when I tell her its okay to feel this way, this is safe, you can do hard things! And she immediately counters with a reason it might not be safe. For example, she doesn't want to go to school. I tell her school isnt dangerous, its okay to feel nervous and anxious but school isnt dangerous. She replies with "Yes it is dangerous, kids keep gettong killed and shot at their schools and i might get shot and killed at my school."
She isn't wrong. So how do I respond to that??????!

My son who is 9 years old started telling me he is feeling butterflies in his chest and throat. Should I be worried? He is always worried about the things he shouldn’t be as a 9 year old.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your information

Ive been going through all sorts of therapy for dealing with my terrified son and no one has told me this

I was anxious about schooll from day 1 in them days nursery school didnt know how to handle it or how to identify any issues ie 46 years later i didcover im proberly autistic nobody knew much about it in 1970s and 1980s whrn i was z child it was just eiped off by school,high school never admitted thry had bullying isdues .
So anxity went with me im 51 now had anxity all my life and bpd and proble auyism from in y twenties paronia and many sucide attempts.
Mum tried her best with tbe school vou tless meeting i faired better three year of college but anxity vo es with e now only its three ti es worse than before

It 100% could be the parents fault. To be fair, the parents that caused their kids to be anxious are very unlikely to see or search out this video to help

Our youngest has been a "worrier" all her life. We have never encouraged avoidance. The only thing avoided was movies/TV we knew would affect her. We are really struggling now that she is 12. It feels out of control with the perfectionism, low self-esteem, etc.

My middle school daughter told me she feels a sense of doom and dread right when she walks into the school every day.
She said she isn’t bullied, but says it is loud and obnoxious, kids screaming and swearing all around her. She is not able to listen to her music when she walks in. Does anyone have advice for destimulating an environment you have no control over that you need to do every day? We talk about what she can and can’t control, and a lot of this is just life—I sometimes feel the same going into work every day, though it stresses us out it doesn’t kill us, but it does effect our ability to concentrate and be productive, and not feel dread! how to manage what we can control over an over-stimulating environment?

So helpfull. Thank you

My mother in law blames me for my six year olds anxiety. She puts me down constantly, which isn't helpful. I'm doing my best, and I'm doing everything I can to help him. I don't want him to be going through this. I suffer from depression and anxiety too, I have most of my life, but I wish I didn't, and I'm working on myself every day.

This video came to us as a rescue today, so thank you so much!!! My child has to go to a child psychiatrist today for diagnostic reasons. He’s not a good doctor though and we and our kid are equally reluctant to go there again. Today is the day of the appointment and she is down with tummy aches and sickness. I am absolutely terrified to go to this place again and drag my kid along. My mummy heart is telling me to protect her from this situation as. I know I have to guide her through the situation, and at the same time I totally understand her anxiety as I have exactly the same feelings towards this doctor.

Tell them to get over it. And never take them to a therapist. Because this so over analyzed

This is so timely, although it was a year ago, we are going through this with my 5 yr old right now.

This was the best thing I have heard about anxiety. Thank you!

My daughter is 6 years old. At night she is coming to my bed to sleep. What and why she scared to sleep in her bed? When I asked her, she said, she doesn’t know. What can I do?

"Being sensitive is a gift, not a weakness"
I love that. I feel a lot of feels. I need to remember it's not a bad thing

I did that. Also worked in preschool and school so i felt relaxt. But then insted of sending out its alright, my child felt i didnt care about his emotions 😢

100% yes to all of this already. This is a relief. Ive been searching and this is it.

I feel it is my fault😢

Both Gandhi and Einstein were abusive to their wifes and mistreated other woman. I don’t think we need to mention this in every history lesson or discussion about politics or science, but to use them as examples in a video about anxiety, by a licensed therapist, is maybe a bit inappropriate. Those men were misogynistic ego-maniacs, despite being sensitive 😢 (Love the rest of the video and this channel! ❤ just wanted to mention this, hope it doesn't come across as strong criticism, it's just a thought I had.)

Thank you so much, from Belgium!
