In this video you’re going to learn how to teach your kids coping skills for anxiety. You’ll learn how to coach your child through anxiety and help them overcome it. We’ll talk about the skills to break tasks down into steps they can accomplish and then feel super proud of themselves as they grow and develop an internal sense of resilience. And I’m going to give a bunch of examples of how I coached kids to overcome their anxiety.

In the first video in this series, we talked about the foundation of your greenhouse, your mindset- you can model for your kids “It’s ok to feel anxiety, but we can choose our actions”. In the second video we talked about creating an safe environment for you kid to face their fears and the #1 most important thing is to create emotional safety for them. This is like the plastic cover on a greenhouse. It provides warmth while the plants grow and face challenges. You do this by connecting with them as they go through their fears, not shaming them, not trying to change how they’re feeling or protect them from having those feelings.
Connecting with your child is the ultimate form of safety as you demonstrate to them that they can handle challenges.
In this video we’ll take it to the next step, you’ll learn how to help your child grow through anxiety.

There are 4 main steps to coaching our children through anxiety and helping them develop coping skills.
Connect with them emotionally, this means validate without judging them or the feeling (we talked about this in the last video)
Break the task down into baby baby baby steps
Help them practice the skill
Give them plenty of attention when they face a fear

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.
And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/c...
