Discover practical strategies for supporting anxious children in this episode of the "Unlock Your Child’s Full Potential" podcast.
We’re joined by licensed mental health counselor and registered play therapist, Anastasia Arauz, to explore ways to spot anxiety in kids and create a calm home environment.
In this episode we cover:
Spotting Anxiety: Learn to recognize signs of anxiety in children, including behaviors like anger, hyperactivity, and sadness, and understand how anxiety manifests in their responses to situations.
Creating a Calm Environment: Discover tips for fostering a peaceful home atmosphere, including validating your child's feelings, modeling calmness, and monitoring their exposure to anxiety-inducing stimuli like media and video games.
Building Intrinsic Self-Worth: Understand the importance of promoting self-worth alongside confidence, and explore strategies for letting children lead in activities they enjoy, rather than imposing external expectations.
Supporting Middle Schoolers: Gain insights into the unique challenges faced by middle schoolers, such as navigating identity changes and peer relationships, and learn how to provide guidance and support during this transitional period.
Family Play Therapy: Explore the benefits of non-directive play therapy for enhancing parent-child communication and bonding, and learn how to create dedicated playtime for connecting with your child on a deeper level.
