SURVIVAL TIPS FOR PARENTS RAISING ANXIOUS KIDS, EP 2

Signs of anxiety in children and teens aren’t always as obvious as you'd expect. In episode 1 of Survival Tips, Natasha overviewed common red flags and explained what these signs indicate about a potential anxiety problem. Now, she'll share some first steps that parents can take as they try and help their child cope with their symptoms.

ABOUT SURVIVAL TIPS
Anxiety isn’t just for adults. In fact, 1 in 6 US children between the ages of 6 and 17 experience a mental health disorder each year. But despite the high prevalence, many parents don't know what to do when their child starts to experience anxiety symptoms. What warning signs should you look out for? What support do they need? How can you help them cope?

As a child therapist and mom, Natasha Daniels knows how complicated (and frustrating) dealing with an anxious child can be. She's spent years helping families tackle these problems, and is now sharing her knowledge with the world. In Survival Tips for Parents Raising Anxious Kids, she offers a glimpse into the realities of childhood mood problems, and provides parents with actionable tips for managing their child’s condition.

As sufferers, we know their pain. We know the isolation they experience at the hands of cultural stigma. We know the anger they feel at media outlets who misrepresent their conditions. And we know the frustration they have with healthcare systems that make it impossible to find help. The Made of Millions Foundation wants to heal this pain.

Using the power of art, media and digital technology, we’re on a mission to transform how the world perceives mental health. And in doing so, create a safer and more inclusive future for sufferers everywhere.

Im 34, but I was definitely an anxious kid. I was put on an SSRI at age 10 (I would not recommend SSRIs as a form of treatment). My anxiety/OCD probably came from a mixture of being raised in the church by two (very loving) type-A parents. There was a lot of pressure (I was a straight A student) and I developed a lot of control issues myself. If I could go back and talk to myself during that time, I think I would tell myself that there's nothing wrong with me. There was so much pressure to "fix me" that I started to believe there was something wrong with me. But there wasn't. I was sensitive and definitely a bit anxious, but I think it was my parents "fix-it" attitude that inadvertently made me feel like I broken or damaged.
Anxiety is our body's ways of letting us know something doesn't feel right. To simply squash the anxiety defeats the purpose. If your kid is anxious, try to explore those anxieties instead of trying to "solve" them.

I agree with the core fear approach...but when she said 'if the child doesnt know/or talk' (in regards to 'discovering the fear/s')...'good luck with that!'...I was quite disgusted. Shes a 'therapist'. My child/ren have autism/ocd and really struggle with communication...so I battle to ascertain this information, despite my awareness.

I am an assistant for children with special needs, I started working a month ago. In the classroom where I am working, there is a student in the second grade who refuses to stay in class without one of his parents. His teacher says that he did not have this problem in the first grade. If his father leaves the classroom for a moment, he probably only stays a few minutes longer without him and starts yelling and runs out the door. I think it's anxiety, can you tell me your opinion about the situation? It is a situation that has been going on for 2 months.
