Jennie Monness is joining me this week to break down the difference between developmentally normal (and healthy!) anxiety and signs that your child may need additional support—and how you can adjust your parenting approach to effectively support both.   Together we explore:   Why our instinct to remove discomfort may actually make anxiety worse—and what to do instead. How to support children with separation anxiety, and the surprising stressors that often go unnoticed during transitions. Utilizing strategies to help your child feel more grounded, like routines, visual schedules, and previewing. The difference between information gathering and reassurance seeking behaviors in children - and how knowing this difference can impact which parenting tool you use to best support them. Dr. Sarah's simple “anxiety formula” that helps you know exactly where to focus your support. How to get to the root of your child's fear, when it isn't so obvious to decode and identify for parents. Play therapy techniques and somatic work you can use to explore the fears that are hard for your child to talk about or that they are avoiding outside of playful environments.   Whether your child is anxious about school drop-off, starting something new, or just seems to struggle with big feelings, this conversation will help you feel more empowered to support them—without needing to rescue them from every hard emotion.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST: https://www.jenniemonness.com/ https://www.unionsquareplay.com/ https://charmspring.com/   FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:

In this episode I chat with Chris Parrott and Susan Bauerfeld about parental anxiety and Self-led parenting. They offer practical advice for parents struggling to regulate their emotions and remain present with their kids, and for IFS practitioners working with parents and families.  Chris and Susan are co-presenting a session at next week's 2024 IFS Annual Conference titled, Get Your Shift Together: Self-Led Parenting in a Culture Shaped by Worried Parts, which I'm super excited about.   Key Takeaways: Worry pulls attention inward, creating disconnection from the present moment. How can parents shift from worry to curiosity about what their children really need IFS provides a pathway for parents to unblend from worry and engage with Self Energy to stay calm and compassionate Is worrying really an act of love, or a protective part trying to manage discomfort? Emotional discomfort is part of life—how can parents help their children develop resilience without removing all discomfort from their experiences? "When you name it, you tame it"—learning to name parts reduces their intensity and fosters emotional regulation. Self-regulation in parents sets a foundation for children to build their own coping skills. How shifting parental focus from worry to connection creates better outcomes for children.    "Worry disconnects us from our parts, from our own Self Energy, and it disconnects us from our kids, and the greatest resource that our children have is the connection that they have with us" -- Chris Parrott About Chris Parrott and Susan Bauerfeld: Chris Parrott studied in London earning her MSc and Post MSc degree to become a BPS Chartered Counseling Psychologist. Parrott co-founded Your Self Series, a teen identity development program, and YourChatMat, tools to engage families in meaningful conversation. She is a Level 1-trained and Board Certified Life Coach working with emerging adults and with parents of pre-teens.  Susan Bauerfeld, PhD is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, IFS Level II trained therapist, speaker, workshop leader, parent coach, and the proud mother of three wonderful, young adult sons. Recently retired from her private practice in Norwalk, CT, she has shifted her professional focus to giving presentations and workshops about parenting and managing anxiety at both national and international conferences and in her local community.

How can you honor who your child is while still equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in our fast-paced world?   That's exactly what I'm talking about with my guest, McCourtney Professor of Child Studies and Professor of Psychology at Penn State, Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar.   In this episode, we dive into:   - What temperament actually is from a psychological standpoint (it's probably not what you think it is!) and the factors professionals use to measure and map it out.   - What impact temperament has on the way sensitive, shy, or explosive children regulate their emotions and respond to their environment.   - How parents can create opportunities for their child to become self-actualized and why focusing on self-actualization is the precursor to helping them achieve and thrive.   - Inhibited versus exuberant - how finding the right niche for a child's unique temperament can define their success, even if it doesn't align with traditional expectations.   - How to find that middle ground between pushing your child when they need a bit of encouragement and nurturing them when they need more support and scaffolding.   Tune in for valuable insights that will help you navigate the complexities of parenting with more confidence and compassion!     LEARN MORE ABOUT DR.

AMDG. Catholic psychiatrist Dr. Kevin Majeres rejoins the Kolbecast for a discussion on anxiety: one of the most common, but also most misunderstood, emotions.  Working from the definition that anxiety is an urge to avoid challenge, Dr. Majeres describes how he helps his clients live by ideals that they freely commit to rather than living under the control of their past; explains how you don't defeat things by forgetting them, but by building new things; and alludes to how mindfulness plus metaphysics equals contemplation.

If your child is anxious, you need to listen to this. Paul is joined by Dr. Eli Lebowitz to discuss anxiety in children and how parents can support their anxious children. Dr. Lebowitz, a psychologist and professor at the Yale Child Study Center, shares his expertise on child anxiety and the impact of family dynamics on anxiety disorders.

Contact and social links below: https://mindsetchangeuk.com/useful-links KEY TAKEAWAYS Parents should not blame themselves for their child's anxiety. There is no evidence to suggest that parents are the cause of anxiety disorders in children. It is important for parents to adopt a supportive stance towards their child's anxiety. This involves acknowledging their anxiety and expressing confidence in their ability to cope with it. Accommodation of anxiety, such as reassurance-seeking or avoidance behaviours, should be reduced. Accommodation can inadvertently reinforce the belief that the child cannot handle anxiety, leading to more anxiety in the long run. It is important to seek professional evaluation to determine if physical symptoms, such as nausea, are anxiety-related or have another underlying cause. BEST MOMENTS "Our field, like mental health, we brought this on ourselves, this whole guilt issue. We really did." "Teaching your child that it's okay to be anxious some of the time and that they can handle that, that's the biggest gift you can give an anxious child." "The most important lesson for a child who has anxiety to learn is actually, I can be anxious, and it'll pass, and it's okay, and it's not the end of the world." "The truth of the matter is that who you are as a parent is really unlikely to have a big impact on whether or not your child has an anxiety disorder."

Alexis's 8 year old son didn't like to be out of sight from his mother for even for five minutes. “I would always be like, okay, I'm going right upstairs, I'm just switching the load of laundry – I'll be right back! He knew where I was every minute of the day.” Then, with the help of a therapist, Alexis and her husband wrote their son a letter, explaining to him that they would no longer allow him to accompany them to the bathroom. It didn't go great. “He was visibly upset and crying and he shredded it immediately."  But things did start to change as Alexis and her husband continued to implement a therapy program designed to help parents change how they respond to their children's distress.  Anna also talks to the founder of that program, Dr. Eli Lebowitz, director of the Program for Anxiety Disorders at the Yale Child Study Center, and author of Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD: A Scientifically Proven Program for Parents. In therapy, parents are asked to think about the accommodations they do for their children, and to slowly eliminate them. “If you're a kid and what you're growing up learning about yourself through your parents is, I can't handle anxiety, well, you're gonna have a lot of anxiety in your life.” 

Parents often struggle with helping their children manage anxiety. Dr. Eli Lebowitz of Yale University joins us to talk about his research and work with children and their parents on managing anxiety and OCD.

Debbie Steinberg Kuntz is a licensed marriage and family therapist and founder of Bright & Quirky. When she started her family counseling practice a decade ago, she had no idea this would be her specialty. But her sons, now teenagers, had some unique strengths and challenges that she dove deeply into understanding. Debbie learned that they were ‘2e' or ‘twice exceptional,' meaning they are smart and also have unique brain wiring that makes accessing those smarts at times challenging. As she researched and found solutions for them, she started to share the learning with families in her private practice near Seattle. You may know that in the Seattle area, they have many highly skilled, uniquely wired people working for nearby high-tech companies (i.e. Amazon, Microsoft). Debbie's practice includes many such families, eager for information on raising 2e kids.Top of Form   Listen to this inspiring Parenting With Impact episode with Debbie Steinberg-Kuntz about addressing strengths and unlocking the full potential of 2e kids.   Top 12 Tips To Help Your Complex Kids Got complex kids?

“It's a great thing to always have someone to rescue you, but to always need to be rescued is such a vulnerable way to live, such a limiting way to live. You don't want your child to feel like they always need to be rescued.” Dr. Eli Lebowitz joins me in today's episode about childhood anxiety. He studies and treats childhood anxiety at the Yale Child Study Center and through his SPACE program and Breaking Free of Childhood Anxiety and OCD book. We discuss why accommodations can be problematic, what true support looks like, where to start, making a plan, telling your child, responding to aggression, and navigating when co-parents disagree.

Dr Eli Lebowitz is an Associate Professor from Yale University who studies and treats childhood and adolescent anxiety. Eli is also the Program for Anxiety Disorders Director at the Yale Child Study Centre. His research focuses on the development, neurobiology, and treatment of anxiety, but his passion lies in exploring cross-generational and family influences on anxiety and related disorders. In today's episode, Eli shares some ways clinicians can support parents if their children are diagnosed with OCD. He also details some of the reasons we might be getting it wrong in supporting families and explains how the SPACE program can help reduce family accommodation.    Resources and links: Breaking Free of Anxiety - A Journey Through SPACE SPACE Treatment website Eli Lebowtiz's website   Connect: https://www.melbournewellbeinggroup.com.au/ http://www.drcelingelgec.com.au/ This show is produced in collaboration with Wavelength Creative.

Human evolution is incredible. We come out of the womb knowing that our greatest chance of survival is to attach to a primary caretaker who will keep us safe. And that innate wisdom is what motivates children to seek closeness and connection to their secure base.   When children suffer from an anxiety disorder the threat detector in their brain is on overdrive and more and more they rely on their parents to protect and soothe them. And while parents have the best intentions, this interpersonal dance can actually serve to increase the severity and frequency of anxiety in children.   Dr. Eli Lebowitz of the Yale Child Study Center has pioneered a new treatment that interrupts that dance! By altering the way parents respond to their child when they are in distress, rather than fueling the flames of anxiety, parents are able to lessen the symptoms, all without asking their child to change his or her behavior in any way.   SPACE has been a game changer in my private practice and I was delighted when Dr. Lebowitz agreed to come on the podcast to discuss the incredible work he is doing and the amazing results they are seeing.   If you are interested in learning more about the work that Upshur Bren Psychology Group is doing to treat child anxiety and OCD with SPACE, go to upshurbren.com/space.

Child anxiety is a topic on the mind of millions across the world. I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Eli Lebowitz about his innovative Space Treatment method, which he outlines in his new book Breaking Free of Child Anxiety & OCD. This method of treating anxiety in children is unique in that it works solely with the child's parents, and is shown to be as effective as working with the child. Professor Lebowitz studies and treats childhood and adolescent anxiety at the Yale Child Study Center. His research focuses on the development, neurobiology, and treatment of anxiety and related disorders, with special emphasis on family dynamics and the role of parents in these problems.

The anxiety epidemic:In 2020 the UK charity Mental Health Foundation surveyed more than 2,000 children and found 50 per cent of teenagers aged 13-19 were experiencing anxiety they found hard to control.  Suggested books:·        The Anxiety Workbook for Teens: Activities to Help You Deal with Anxiety and Worry·       Breaking free from Childhood Anxiety and OCD, Eli Lebowitz.Key points taken from UNWINDING ANXIETY: by Judson Brewer Mindfulness is a key tool:'If you feel anxious it's an uncomfortable feeling so you start worrying about it. Worrying is seductive because it makes you feel like you're doing something to get to a solution. All it does is to distract you from the negative emotion. It temporarily numbs the difficult feelings and feels more rewarding to your brain than the original emotion.''If your brain learns that worrying provides temporary relief, then whenever you're anxious your brain will trigger worry. It becomes a compulsive habit over which you have no control, but the worrying makes you feel more anxious.'·       The first step to understanding your own anxiety is simply mapping your own habit loops/ What kind of situations trigger anxiety or other difficult feelings? ·       Which behaviours has your brain learned to respond as a way to soothe or distract you?·       What is the result of those behaviours?'When you get into an anxiety loop use:RAIN:Recognise difficult feelings.Accept them and allow them to be there.Investigate the sensations in your body and emotions bubbling up.Note what's going on, and simply observe yourself out of curiosity.Resources:https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/23/health/mental-health-crisis-teens.html https://www.forbes.com/sites/williamhaseltine/2021/08/25/depression-and-anxiety-double-in-youth-compared-to-pre-pandemic/?sh=22e0bfb2139fhttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/feeling-anxious-dont-worry-its-good-for-you-s70jvtdbxhttps://childmind.org/article/signs-of-anxiety-in-teenagers/ RULES FROM: https://www.verywellfamily.com/establishing-house-rules-for-teenagers-1094873Rules That Promote Safety·       Driving – car accidents are the number one killer of teens.

We've talked a lot about the impact that the pandemic has had on healthcare providers, but many of us are equally impacted by how the pandemic is affecting our children.

Anxiety is rampant in our world today. And, on the whole, it's getting worse; reports of anxiety have literally doubled in the last two years since the start of the pandemic. Unfortunately, this is not just a grown-up problem; children are facing anxiety at record rates as well. But, as Dr. Eli Lebowitz points out in this episode, there is hope. Dr. Lebowitz is Director of the Program for Anxiety Disorders at the Yale Child Study Center. As he lays out in our conversation today, anxiety is the most treatable mental health issue. He says the "world is full of children who used to have an anxiety disorder." And he is helping to make that true. Dr. Lebowitz develped SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) - a parent-based treatment program for children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD, and related problems. From his research and experience with this program, he brings us stories and guidelines for how we as parents can best support children with anxiety.   Find out more about SPACE at spacetreatment.net

Children with OCD and anxiety need their parents to understand that they feel terrified. They need their parents to express confidence in their ability to face their fears. What they don't need is for their parents to do everything for them when they're afraid because over time, they will need to learn how to deal with their fears when their parents aren't around. Dr. Lebowitz's book, Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD: A Scientifically Proven Program for Parents, provides a roadmap for how parents can successfully guide their children to overcome their fears. The way parents accommodate their own OCD, severe anxiety or phobias can have an extremely negative impact on their children. Many people use rituals for years and do not seek therapy until they see what their habits are doing to their children.The difference between a quirk and a disorder has to do with how much of a negative impact the particular way you want to do things has on your life.A child not attending school because of their fears, someone is unable to sleep or eat, behaviors which strongly affect relationships are generally examples of a disorder. Getting help with problems causing smaller amounts of distress will improve your current life and may prevent the quirks from developing into disorders According to Dr. Lebowitz's research, the best way to respond to a child who is experiencing anxiety is to first validate their experience and provide confidence. If your child is experiencing a full-blown panic attack, there's not much to do, except wait it out and remain calm.Children who grew up without any serious anxiety and suddenly develops a very intense fear, often had a traumatic experience that will require more support and a different kind of therapy. Try to become aware of periodic anxiety before they culminate into a larger event.At the end of this episode, Matana continues her conversation asking Dr. Lebowitz personal questions of experiences in Matana's life and with her children, and received priceless and life changing advice.

Special Guest: Eli Lebowitz, PhD It's healthy and normal to become aware of possible threats and dangers around us so that we can be safe and make safe choices- however, in children with anxiety, they get stuck in continually imagining that something bad or dangerous will happen, and it feels just as if the bad thing were happening in real life. They are experiencing the feelings or anxiety as if they are indeed going to happen. They focus on what they truly believe are the negative outcomes that have a large likelihood of occurring and place high value on those negative outcomes—while at the same time, placing very low value and likelihood on positive outcomes that might occur from taking the risk and doing the thing that scares them. Parenting an anxious child means facing constant challenges and questions: When should parents step in and help their children deal with those fears—or take away the likelihood of those fears by avoiding the thing that scares their child? How can parents foster independence while still supporting their children and acknowledging the anxiety? How can parents reduce the hold their child's anxiety has on their entire family—and cope with the role they may be inadvertently playing in kowtowing to the anxiety while trying to help their child cope with it? And how do we talk to our children about anxiety- and how we can support them in living with it in a positive way? For this conversation, I will be talking together with Professor Eli Lebowitz. Bio Professor Lebowitz studies and treats childhood and adolescent anxiety and is Director of the Program for Anxiety Disorders at the Yale University's Child Study Center.

Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD by Eli Lebowitz.

In this episode, Eli discusses how his background in working in one clinic treating children with anxiety, and another clinic treating significant childhood behavioral problems, lead him to develop his program SPACE. Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) has been found to reduce childhood anxiety at the same levels as a course of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for children by working directly with the parents. He discusses how the previous thinking was that children who are not willing to do CBT were not going to be able to benefit from therapy, and yet for behavioral problems there were treatments that were effective by working only with the parents. He found that treatment for childhood anxiety was based on methods for adults, but was leaving out the important distinction that children look to their parents for help in coping with anxiety provoking situations. This lead him to develop a treatment that focused on parents changing behaviors in order to not accommodate anxiety, using support as well as communication, and disengaging from the anxiety process in a loving way. Eli Lebowitz, Ph.D. is the Director of the Program for Anxiety Disorders at the Yale Child Study Center, creator of SPACE (a parent-based treatment program for child and adolescent anxiety and related disorders), as well the author of Treating Childhood and Adolescent Anxiety: A Guide for Caregivers with Haim Omer and Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD: A Scientifically Proven Program for Parents, his most recent published work. Dr. Lebowitz's research focuses on the development, neurobiology, and treatment of anxiety with a focus on cross-generational and family influences.

My guest this week is Dr. Eli Lebowitz, a professor at the Yale School of Medicine Child Study Center who directs the Program for Anxiety Disorders while studying and treating childhood and adolescent anxiety. Dr. Lebowitz's research focuses on the development, neurobiology, and treatment of anxiety and related disorders, with special emphasis on family dynamics and the role of parents in these disorders. He is the lead investigator on multiple funded research projects and is the author of research papers, books, and chapters on childhood and adolescent anxiety. Dr. Lebowitz's work has been recognized by private and public organizations including the Brain and Behavior Foundation, the National Institute of Mental Health, and The National Center for Advancing Translational Science. He is also the father of three great boys. In this episode, Dr. Lebowitz and I discuss the steps to an effective at-home approach to treat children's anxiety and OCD. By utilizing the scientifically proven program, SPACE, Dr. Lebowitz demonstrates how this parent-focused approach can result in improvement not only for the child suffering from anxiety or OCD but for the entire family unit. Dr. Lebowitz gives parents and caregivers the tools for empowerment and success to help their child overcome anxiety and OCD in his new step-by-step book, ‘Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD'.

During the pandemic, many of us have experienced feelings of fear, anxiety, and loss. These feelings extend to children, too, who are learning new lessons at home and wondering what the future holds. They may be worried about family members and their own safety while trying to keep up with schoolwork, which is looking very different these days. What can parents and educators do to help kids cope with uncertainty and continue to learn and thrive? In this episode, host Suzanne McCabe talks with Dr. Eli Lebowitz, an associate professor at the Yale Child Study Center and director of their Program for Anxiety Disorders. In 2018, Scholastic and the Child Study Center formed a collaborative to explore how literacy can be used to foster resilience among children and families. You can find additional information about the collaborative and explore their coronavirus resources here.
