Show Notes: While some kids with big emotions blame others, others are incredibly hard on themselves. And it can be devastating to hear them beat themselves up when they make a mistake! Often when they do, our instinct is to tell them it will be okay, that it's not a big deal, that everyone makes mistakes. But as you've probably noticed, that doesn't make them stop this behavior in the long run, and it can even make them feel worse in the moment. The good news is that we can use Leadership Parenting strategies to help our children – and ourselves! – handle these situations more effectively.  In this episode, you'll learn: Why previous attempts to help our kids calm down haven't worked -- and often make things worse instead Qualities that many children with big emotions have in common (and why it feels like they regularly get stuck in cycles of negativity) How to stay regulated and help kids get unstuck so they can learn how to handle their mistakes in the moment… and build resilience for the future -- Free live "Power Hour" event Free resource: Summary of Episode 331 Join Rachel's Facebook group The Leadership Parenting Academy and Success Lab

Send us a text Today, we're wrapping up the book Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents. If this is your first time with me, I recommend checking out the last eight solo episodes. Each one covers important strategies from the book for managing anxiety. But don't worry if you're new—today, we're pulling it all together into one cohesive plan.Here's what we'll be focusing on:Putting the puzzle pieces together: We've covered seven puzzle pieces over the past episodes. Today, it's all about combining them into an actionable plan for managing anxiety.Expect the worry: Your brain might tell you that making an anxiety plan is overwhelming. That's normal! Worry will show up—expect it, acknowledge it, and move forward anyway.Embrace discomfort: We're practicing moving forward even when we feel uncomfortable. This is a key part of managing anxiety, for both you and your child.Involve your child: If this is for your child, the plan is theirs to own. You can support them, but they have to do the work themselves.Here's how to create your plan:Review the puzzle pieces – Use index cards for each step. Write the name of the puzzle piece on one side and some reminders or strategies on the other.Discuss success stories – Talk about moments when you or your child successfully handled anxiety. What worked? How did the puzzle pieces help?Practice with a fictional scenario – Start with an imaginary worry to walk through the steps and get familiar with the process.Use past experiences – Once comfortable with the process, talk through a past anxiety issue that's now resolved.Tackle current anxiety – Finally, apply the plan to something happening right now. Set small, manageable goals and keep moving forward, no matter how uncomfortable.This process is all about helping your child feel confident they can manage their anxiety, and that they have the tools they need.Let's work together to support them in creating a solid plan that empowers them to take control. As always, I'm here to help along the way!Let's do an Anxiety Audit together.

Often when we ask our kids with big emotions to do things they have to do, instead of doing what we ask, they resist, negotiate, or even become disrespectful to us (or themselves!). And when we feel helpless and stuck, we often then fall back on strategies that our parents used with us… which tends to make things worse. So how can we motivate responsible and respectful behavior when our attempts seem to just lead to more drama?  In this episode, you'll learn: Two reasons why rewards and punishments don't work for kids with big emotions Common reasons why children struggle (and how we can identify these reasons when our kids are having a hard time) How to go beneath kids' behavior to motivate more positive behaviors, moods, and attitudes with less resistance

The fighting hasn't stopped in Gaza but that hasn't prevented tens of thousands of parents from making sure that their children are given the first of two polio vaccines.The UN-led initiative inoculated 15,000 youngsters in one school-turned-shelter in central Deir Al-Balah on Monday, according to Louise Wateridge, a spokesperson for the UN agency for Palestine refugees, UNRWA.Talking to Daniel Johnson from UN News on Monday, she described the challenge of rolling out the campaign where, to be successful, 90 per cent of Gaza's children under 10 will need to be vaccinated – right now, and again in four weeks.

We want our children to feel respected, and we know that it's important to connect with them and validate their feelings.

The U.S. surgeon general recently recommended that all social-media platforms come with a warning label alerting parents and young people of their risks. Meanwhile, some schools are moving to ban phones altogether. Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu talks to psychologist Mitch Prinstein, an expert in adolescent development, about what we actually know about the effects of social media on kids’ brains — and his compassionate advice for navigating smartphone use in your family.

This time of year, navigating the use of screens can be a real challenge -- especially when you're raising children with big emotions. The summer can start off feeling more relaxed, but then come the power struggles over how long children can be on screens and the meltdowns when they have to get off of their devices. Fortunately, a few simple changes can reduce the drama, even during those times when children are even more likely to turn to screens as entertainment.  In this episode, you'll learn: Why kids with big emotions struggle with screen time limits How to increase your influence to reduce screen time drama  How to give your kids the skills THEY need to get off of screens more easily (helping them deal with transitions and boredom!) __ FREE 1:1 CONVERSATION: Want to talk to Rachel about what's causing YOUR screen time drama?  Send an email to info@Rachel-Bailey.com with the word "Screens" in the subject line!  Free summary of this episode: https://rachelbailey68580.activehosted.com/f/193 Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RachelBailey Free training for parents with kids with big emotions: https://rachel-bailey.com/longgame/rachel

As parents, we want to be able to influence our children. And we can feel helpless and out of control when we try to help our kids feel or act better… and we can't make it happen.  One of the most common ways that we “leak” influence happens on a day-to-day basis in the way we ask our kids to do things and in the way we respond to their requests. Once you become aware of this leak, you can make a simple change and increase your influence immediately!  In this episode, you'll learn: Why some of our our requests and our responses immediately put our kids into fight-or-flight (and make them more resistant to us)  An example that illustrates what this is like for your child that you will be able to relate to Simple strategies to increase your influence and improve your relationship with your child  -- FREE ASSESSMENT + 30-MINUTE CALL WITH RACHEL: https://rachel-bailey.com/call Notes from this episode: https://rachelbailey68580.activehosted.com/f/191 Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RachelBailey Free training for parents with kids with big emotions: https://rachel-bailey.com/longgame/rachel

Every day, I hear that children with big emotions are struggling -- not just with their emotions, but with their self-esteem. They don't understand or like themselves very much.  Every day, I hear that parents who are raising children with big emotions are struggling -- wanting to support their kids and foster self-esteem, but feeling helpless. They know they have to set limits and allow kids to be uncomfortable, but these things lead to big reactions and emotions ...and they don't know how to manage these situations without making things worse. I created a program to solve these struggles -- to foster both resilience and confidence in your children...and honestly, in you as well! Not only will there will be more peace when you're setting limits or when things don't go the way your child expected... but there will be more peace as you realize your child believes in and trusts themselves to handle challenges they will inevitably face in life. In this episode, I'm giving access to one of the introductory lessons in that program. (Part 2 will be released on 10/26/23.) HERE IS THE HANDOUT FOR THIS EPISODE.

In this Papers Podcast, Dr. Fiona Challacombe discusses her co-authored CAMH journal paper ‘Preventing anxiety in the children of anxious parents – feasibility of a brief, online, group intervention for parents of one- to three-year-olds'.

This week, licensed professional counselor and author Sissy Goff joins us to talk to parents about how anxious parents create anxious kids, intentionality in parenting versus a posture of hyper-vigilance, how to navigate trauma with children, and how to become a worry-free parent. What does that mean? As you know, anxiety has an amazing ability to spread. Time and time again, when Sissy Goff has an anxious child or teen in her office, she's found they have at least one very well-intentioned but anxious parent. And that anxiety is likely affecting your kids, distracting you in the present, and making you feel like it will define your family's future.

Sometimes, anxiety can be caused by your upbringing and your childhood. If you're currently suffering from anxiety, have you wondered why you may have anxiety? Since when have you started to get nervous all the time? What causes anxiety? To find out, here are seven signs of anxiety caused by your upbringing. #anxiety #childhood #psych2go Credits Writer: Julian Heng Script editor: Isadora Ho & Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera Animator: Joy Zhang YouTube manager: Cindy Cheong References Bögels, S., van Oosten, A., Muris, P. and Smulders, D., 2001.

It can be difficult to understand the differences between a shy child, an introverted child, and a socially anxious child especially when those things overlap. In this week's episode we look at ways to determine whether a child's reluctance to be social is their natural way of functioning or if it might be cause for concern.

In this episode, I talk about how we need both comfort and discomfort to get us to a better place when it comes to anxiety. I wrote this episode while I was reading 2 books at the same time- The Comfort Book, By Matt Haig, and Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents, by Reid Wilson & Lynn Lyons, and both were giving what seemed like opposite advice. The first was telling me to get over anxiety (and depression) through comfort- enjoying a PB&J, nature, hugs from family/pets etc. The second was telling me that if you don't get out and DO the things you are anxious about (ride in airplanes, go on chairlifts, get on the bus, whatever), you will never become less anxious about it. And, I decided, we need both. We need both the secure base of home AND the challenge/bravery etc. that comes from going out and doing the things we are anxious about. At the same time. Action item: see in what ways you can both make your home more comfortable and encourage yourself to get outside of your comfort zone at the same time!

Anxious kids can take up a lot of the family's bandwidth. We talk about how to support siblings while also supporting our anxious child and discuss the Parenting Pitfalls than can trap siblings, too.

Since my guest for today's episode, Dr. Abigail Gewirtz was on the show just over two years ago near the start of the COVID pandemic, the world has continued to go through increasingly complicated and challenging times. Like I'm sure all of you out there listening, I've struggled to find ways to help my child feel hope and optimism about the state of the world — the war in Ukraine, a spate of school shootings, a very polarized political landscape, and catastrophic weather events. So I wanted to ask Abigail, the author of the wonderful book When the World Feels Like a Scary Place: Essential Conversations for Anxious Parents and Worried Kids, if hope and optimism is possible to find even when things around us feel so unpredictable and chaotic, and if so, how can we cultivate this for our kids in an authentic way?In our conversation, Abigail shares her ideas for doing that, as well as ways we adults can manage our own fear and worries to be able to show up for our kids, and the importance of guiding kids toward something that makes them feel purpose and meaning. About Dr. Abigail GewirtzDr. Abigail Gewirtz is a child psychologist and professor at the University of Minnesota's College of Education and Human Development (ranked the world's third-leading institution of its kind). Dr. Gewirtz has consulted for and presented to national and international organizations, including the US Congress and UNICEF, on parenting.

Having a newly diagnosed T1D child sends parents on a new and unexpected journey. Today's question is from a mom who is struggling with all the pieces of the T1D journey with her preteen daughter. As is expected, her daughter wants to be private about her diabetes because she wants to fit in with her peers, and she just wants life to be about other things besides T1D. This shows up in anger and frustration with what is now required of her in diabetes management. Join us for the conversation.Show Highlights:Guest: Amy's daughter, Katie (12), was diagnosed with T1D just two months ago in September, and she's being homeschooled now for 6th grade. How Amy's family has felt flooded and emotionally overwhelmed with this diagnosis and all the pieces to the T1D puzzleHow Katie is super private and embarrassed about T1D and refuses to let anyone else be around when she has an injectionAmy's Question: “I want to ask about the grief piece that seems to be lingering and unending. It sometimes shows up in Katie as anger, especially in the mornings as we have transitioned to homeschool until she's ready to get back into school, so I need strategies for managing those emotions in the moment. I also need to know how to handle the fact that she doesn't want anyone to know that she has T1D.”JoAnne's Answer: “I think it's important to normalize her life as much as possible, and a big piece of that is having her return to school instead of being homeschooled. She needs to know that her life can be normal and stay on track even though the T1D diagnosis has derailed you for a time. The most important aspect is to figure out how you both will live normal lives while managing T1D. By having her at home, you are communicating to her that “this” is too much and too big. Look to partner with the school nurse and teachers to make sure they know what she needs. You have to find the line between what Katie wants and what the reality is. You may have to push her to get her on board with doing what she needs to regarding dosing at school, and get her to understand that her T1D cannot be private from the adults who care for her at school. We, as parents, have to be practical about the suffering our T1D kids are enduring because they have to learn to tolerate it. They don't have a choice about the pain of injections, but their lives can remain intact. It might be helpful to find a T1D mentor for her from the local high school, and it's not something you give her a choice about– because she doesn't know what she needs.”Resources:Mentioned in this episode: Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents by Reid WilsonVisit my website for available resources: www.diabetessweettalk.com*Visit my website to get my Self-Care Kit to bring more ease and balance into your diabetes management routine!

I throw inflammatory questions and opinions about teenagers at Washington State University sociology professor Monica Kirkpatrick Johnson, and she handles them with aplomb. Teenagers have a rough time, and different teenagers have different rough times depending on who they are, where they live, what their parents are like, and how much money they've got. Most interesting, and sounding right, Monica discusses the "package" we're born with: Our rough or easy teenage transition as a life stage usually has to do with more than one factor ... here and abroad. Let's talk adolescents ... Want to read more? Monica recommends two "easily accessible" books (not overly mathematical) and one a little denser: Not Quite Adults: Why 20-somethings Are Choosing a Slower Path to Adulthood, and Why It's Good for Everyone by Richard Settersten and Barbara E. Ray  The Accordion Family: Boomerang Kids, Anxious Parents, and the Private Toll of Global Competition by Katherine S. Newman, with a less U.S.-centric take Not Under My Roof: Parents, Teens, and the Culture of Sex by Amy T. Schalet, which compares U.S. views on adolescent sexuality to Dutch teens and parents. Sneak peek? She's also working with another academic on learning how people are reacting to each other, masked or unmasked, in this pandemic. Got to have her back to talk about THAT! My own sneak peek? Monica's great interview is the first in a three-part series about childhood, adolescence, and old age. More to come there! PHOTO CREDIT: Photo by Ivan Samkov from Pexels

Parents today have never had more reason to be concerned for the safety and security of their children. Former spy turned stay-at-home mom Christina Hillsberg provides a possible antidote for anxious parents in LICENSE TO PARENT: How My Career as a Spy Helped Me Raise Resourceful, Self-Sufficient Kids, a groundbreaking guide to raising resilient, self-sufficient children based on Christina's experience as a CIA analyst. This unparalleled approach to child-rearing provides both an inside look into one of the world's most clandestine organizations and a practical guide for how to utilize key spy tactics to teach kids important life skills—from self-defense to effective communication to conflict resolution. Christina Hillsberg was a single, successful CIA analyst with a burgeoning career in espionage when she met fellow spy, Ryan, a hotshot field operative who turned her world upside down. They fell in love, married, and soon they were raising three children from his first marriage, and later, two more of their own. Christina knew right away that there was something special about the way Ryan was parenting his kids, even if initially their obsession with surviving end-of-world scenarios and their ability to do everything from archery to motorcycle riding gave her pause. More than that, Ryan's kids were much more security savvy than most adults she knew. It wasn't long after they married that she realized the secret to Ryan's parenting success: he was using his CIA training and field experience in his day-to-day child-rearing. And why shouldn't he? The CIA trains its employees to be equipped to deal with just about anything. Shouldn't parents strive to do the same for their kids? As Christina grew into her new role as a stepmom and later gave birth to their two children, she got on board with Ryan's unique parenting style—and even helped shape it using her own experiences at the CIA. Told through honest and relatable parenting anecdotes, Christina shares their distinctive approach to parenting and gives practical takeaways rooted in CIA tradecraft along the way. LICENSE TO PARENT aims to provide parents with the tools necessary to raise savvier, well-rounded kids who have the skills necessary to navigate through life.

In this episode, Lynn discusses her work with children and families, and how she developed her approach that integrates family systems, hypnosis, and cognitive behavioral therapy. She discusses working with children and adolescents with anxiety, and how she focuses on the pattern, and helping the clients to see how they are "doing the disorder", and interrupt that pattern, as opposed to focusing on the content of the anxiety. She identifies what skills the family is needing, and helps them develop those to not let worry and anxiety run the family. Lynn Lyons, LICSW is a psychotherapist, author, and speaker with a special interest in interrupting the generational patterns of anxiety in families. Lynn is the co-author with Reid Wilson of Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents and the companion book for kids Playing with Anxiety: Casey's Guide for Teens and Kids.

Dr. Abigail Gewirtz is a child psychologist, expert on stress and families and author of the book "When the World Feels Like A Scary Place: Essential Conversations for Anxious Parents and Worried Children". She is based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dr. Abigail shares with us her work as a psychologist and not only how to have conversations with our children but also how to prepare ourselves for these difficult conversations.  You can pick up her book from Amazon at: https://www.amazon.ca/When-World-Feels-Scary-Place/dp/1523508310/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=when+the+world+feels+like+a+scary+place&qid=1604795943&sr=8-1

It's not a far stretch to say the world can feel very scary sometimes--and now, especially. If it feels that way for we adults, have you ever wondered how it affects our children? What can we do to guide them--and ourselves--through choppy seas and trying times? How can we work through stress with our children, and what should those conversations with our kids look like?These are hard questions. Luckily, they're questions we don't have to answer alone. Our guest today is Dr. Abigail Gewirtz, a professor at the University of Minnesota who has written a book that could not be more timely: When the World Feels Like a Scary Place: Essential Conversations for Anxious Parents & Worried Kids. Dr. Gewirtz is a mother of four, a child psychologist, and an expert on how stress affects families. We clearly have a lot we can learn from Dr. Gewirtz, and we are grateful we get to share our conversation with you today.Support the show (https://whoiscarter.z2systems.com/np/clients/whoiscarter/donation.jsp)

"If you're uncertain and uncomfortable, you're probably on a good path to some sort of discovery or success or meeting some challenge that's in front of you." -Lynn Lyons The Cheat Sheet: What's the difference between anxiety and worry?

Anxiety, worry, and depression are all fueled by the predictable and redundant processes of global, catastrophic, and permanent thinking. Why the more we adhere to the demands of anxiety, the stronger that anxiety becomes.
