Help Kids Overcome Fear & Anxiety with Christina Furnival | POF183
Manage episode 352120054 series 2528896
It’s so important to understand that we all feel fear and anxiety. Fear is meant to protect us and keep us safe so when our kids are scared, we need to reassure them that it’s normal and natural. We want to honour their feeling but we also want them to know that they can manage their fears and control their unhelpful thoughts. This helps kids feel more confident and that leads to higher resilience.
Christina Furnival is returning to my show for the second time to talk us through how to teach kids how to deal with their fear and anxiety!
In our conversation we talk about:
What to do when our child brings up their fears (and what not to do)
How our kids are always looking to us to learn how to act, think and what to say
How fears change as kids get older and what is age appropriate
We talked about a grounding exercise you can use for yourself or your child when you’re feeling anxious. Use the instructions below to name:
5 things you can see
4 things you can feel
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste
For my previous conversation with Christina, you can find it here: Bullies, Bullying and Boundaries

For Christina’s worksheet to help your child through anxiety, you can download it from the Parent Toolbox. www.parent-toolbox.com
