My child struggles with feeling anxious, worried, or stressed

Many children have small fears such as lions, tigers, and bears… oh my! However, many children have excessive worries that hold them back from fully enjoying their childhood. We want our children to be happy and carefree, yet so many children today are stressed out and showing signs of anxiety. We will listen to your child’s concerns and help them grow their feelings vocabulary so that they can confidently share their thoughts. We will teach them how to recognize how their body feels when it is distressed and teach them coping strategies and calming techniques to bring their bodies and brains back to a state of calm and control. We will teach them to quiet their minds, focus on the present moment, acknowledge and accept their feelings, and reframe their thoughts. As parents, you will learn new ways to listen to your children as they more effectively share their thoughts and feelings, ways to respond to your child so that they feel validated, and help problem-solve strategies for situations that impact family, school, and social functioning. By building your child’s emotional resilience you will be giving them lifelong tools to finding peace and happiness.
