Karen shares why parental confidence is crucial, how understanding the neuroscience behind anxiety can empower children, and tackles common misconceptions about anxiety. We'll also discuss the importance of relational safety within schools to help turn anxious moments into manageable experiences. With a rich professional background and personal anecdotes, Karen provides a comforting reminder that anxiety can be navigated with understanding and the right tools.

I evaluate my own coping skills from a spectrum perspective, encouraging a 'healthy vs. unhealthy' lens, rather than a 'good vs. bad' one.

Before the pandemic a study concluded that 20% of Americans suffered from anxiety. Post-pandemic, the number is probably much higher. A few weeks ago we talked about living in the present. Anxious people are stuck thinking about the future and being fearful of the unknown. They typically love routine and structure because that gives them some control over the future. For the same reason, anxious kids tend to be ritualistic. Lauren walks through 5 things to know about anxiety, including the genetic link, physical symptoms that come along with anxiety, and a long list of ways to help your anxious kiddo. If your kid exhibits any anxiety this is a must listen episode. Lauren answers this week's listener question during the episode:  How do I reason with my two year old?Try-at-home tip: Calming images and visuals at home and workMentioned in this episode:Hey Warrior by Karen YoungOther related resources from The Behavior Hub: Blog Post: 5 Breathing Exercises for Your KiddosAll the Coping Strategies for Your KiddosPodcast:Breathing Techniques for CalmingAll the coping/calming strategiesOur Online Courses: From Conflict to Calm: How to Communicate with Challenging Children4 Simple Steps to Problem SolvingFrom Wild Emotions to Tamed Feelings: How to Self-RegulateStress, Trauma, and Behaviors, Oh My!Do you have a question?

School shootings, traumatic weather events, local fires and acts of terror-- When the world is struck with a catastrophic event, it is natural to want to shield our children from the effects of it. We want to keep their innocence in tact- allowing them to grow up carefree and unfettered—feeling safe and calm wherever they go. We might wonder, if we just don't talk about it- could our children remain in their happy little bubble for the time being? The problem is—we live in a world where children receive messages about traumatic events from many different avenues- it's not just the news that we can easily turn off—or even the 24/7 access to the internet that provides a play by play as negative stories develop. It's also that different families have different rules about such access- with multiple kids of various ages in their homes who are permitted to have more access- so that might mean you send your blithely innocent child to school, ignorant of the scary events that might have occurred, only to have them bombarded with the news from a more informed (perhaps not accurately so) child on the bus—or from a group of kids in class. Knowing that something has happened but not having anyone to explain it in age-appropriate terms and how it relates to our specific children can be frightening to anyone. We all need context, assurance and our own concerns addressed by someone we trust—our kids actually need information to feel safe and-- as a parent or educator who knows the child, you are the perfect person to have this conversation with them. I've talked about this on national TV shows and in written press but I thought it was important to talk about it on my podcast—especially through the lens of anxiety as many kids have trouble dealing with such large-scale events. My next guest tells us that since you know your child best, “it's important to manage the conversation (Or, shall we say, tailor it) based on who they are, what they already know, and what it means for them.” Karen Young has been on our podcast before- talking about anxiety. In fact, her podcast episode is in the top 5 most downloaded episodes of How to Talk to Kids about Anything, of all time. She is back today to discuss with me how we can talk to kids about traumatic world events. Karen has worked as a psychologist in private practice and in educational settings. She founded the popular website, Hey Sigmund, which attracts millions of readers each year. Karen is a sought-after speaker, both at home in Australia and internationally. She is the author of ‘Hey Warrior', a book for kids to help them understand anxiety and find their ‘brave'. The book has now been translated into a number of languages.

In this episode, we talked about OCD and scrupulosity. OCD is a difficult subject because the term is often thrown around as an adjective to describe perfectionistic tendencies. But true obsessive compulsive disorder is so different than the stereotypes may lead people to believe, and it can be a really serious mental health issue  — one that is undoubtedly affecting someone you know and love. It can also be especially hard on missionaries.So many people who have OCD, especially religiously themed OCD don’t know what to call their pain, and they often have only religious language or explanations for what they’re feeling. That can lead to years of deep and unnecessary suffering. And that gets to the primary reason we’re doing this episode — we hope that listeners who are suffering from OCD, or their loved ones, will hear this and recognize something in themselves that they didn’t quite understand. We really want them to know that they’re not bad or corrupt or evil, and that there is light at the end of the tunnel.Bonnie is a marriage and family therapist, mother of two, and author of several academic articles on religion and mental health. She has a bachelor’s degree in history with an emphasis in Mormon women’s history and a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy, both from BYU. Bonnie’s currently based in Seattle, and specializes in treating clients with anxiety, religious OCD / scrupulosity, and sexual disorders.Bonnie was amazing, and she really helped articulate some of the most difficult challenges that OCD presents, and ways to start addressing it.—Recommended Resources—Self-help:“The Mindfulness Workbook for OCD,” which you can find on Amazon.“Brain Lock,” by Jeffrey Schwartz, also available on AmazonChildren:“What to do when your brain gets stuck”, workbook for kids which again, you can find on Amazon.Hey Warrior, by Karen Young, great illustrations, our kids love this one. Podcasts:Bonnie recommended “The OCD Stories.” Richard Ostler has also done several podcasts related to OCD, and you can go to listenlearnandlove.org and head to the mental health section.Parenting Survival Podcast by Natasha Daniels focuses on kids with OCDEducational videos:“Madeofmilllions.com”“Nathan Peterson OCD.” has a series of educational vioeos on OCDWe also loved the movie about OCD for kids called “Unstuck,” which you can find at “ocdkidsmovie.com”And for conferences, camps, and other general resources, the International OCD Foundation has it all. Perhaps most importantly, you can find a therapists who specialize in OCD in your city on their website @ iocdf.org

Did you ever think of reading for helping to heal trauma? We talk to Jessica Sinarski about her books and reading as a way to help connect with those who have experienced trauma and help them heal. This week we are joined by Jessica Sinarski, a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health who works with children and has so much knowledge and experience to share with us! In this episode we talk about: 1. Jessica’s experience and background working with children and people who have experienced significant trauma in their early lives as well as her passion for digging into the effects of early trauma on the brain and the different paths to healing. 2. Why and how stories and reading can play a role in helping and working with kids who have experienced trauma. “Story is a powerful tool for connecting and healing.” 3. Why it is important to bring the “big” and “scary” parts of ourselves or our experiences to the surface and process them. 4. Why picture books are a good medium for kids to be able to engage with different parts of the story, depending on their situation and needs. “That is my goal- to start young and often, dealing with the tough stuff in life.” 5. Jessica’s experiences seeing picture books help people of all ages- even adults- recognize, express or process their feelings. 6. The books that Jessica has written and how they came to be. “There are kids who desperately need these stories, ...but then they are empathy builders for kids who haven’t had a lot of stressors yet so they can be a friend.” 7. How the books can help take the shame out of having these big feelings and help both kids and adults understand where the feelings come from and how to handle them. 8. What types of books can be helpful when trying to connect with kids who have experienced trauma and a few ideas on when and how to use them. “Humans... have these little windows where we can learn... and where we’re receptive and ready and can soak things up. Sometimes that’s at bedtime during reading, but that’s where we have to be really tuned into the child, because sometimes it’s during play or it’s when we’re out for a walk…” 9. Heaps of book recommendations to help kids with their feelings and experiences! 10. Extra resources for parents and adults trying to parent and work with kids who have gone through trauma. “We can’t fix everything. Sometimes you just have to sit with it.” In Reading: Helping to Heal Trauma we mention We are so grateful to Jessica for taking the time to talk with us!

Beyond The Bump is a podcast brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Sophie Pearce! A podcast targeted at mums, just like you! A place to have real conversations with honest and authentic people. In our thirty fourth episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat to Dr Jodi Richardson, about how we can help children with anxiety, but the chat also unintentionally spans to parents with anxiety and anxiety in general as we felt it was all relevant and impacted on each other. Jodi gives us an outline of some common symptoms, when to get help and how we can implement practical strategies to help them. We hope you find this episode really helpful.

In this episode we unpack some of the behaviors we see on the surface when children and adolescents experience anxiety, as well a lot of overwhelming feelings that are stirred up underneath. We give practical phrases to give support as parents or teachers offering a safe space to kids and teens when they are overwhelmed. We look at anxiety through the lens of secure attachment to help co-regulate emotion in this hyperaroused state outside the window of tolerance."Hey Warrior" and "Hey Awesome" can be found at www.heysigmund.comOur Links: https://linktr.ee/communityroutes

School shootings, traumatic weather events, local fires and acts of terror-- When the world is struck with a catastrophic event, it is natural to want to shield our children from the effects of it. We want to keep their innocence in tact- allowing them to grow up carefree and unfettered—feeling safe and calm wherever they go. We might wonder, if we just don't talk about it- could our children remain in their happy little bubble for the time being? The problem is—we live in a world where children receive messages about traumatic events from many different avenues- it's not just the news that we can easily turn off—or even the 24/7 access to the internet that provides a play by play as negative stories develop. It's also that different families have different rules about such access- with multiple kids of various ages in their homes who are permitted to have more access- so that might mean you send your blithely innocent child to school, ignorant of the scary events that might have occurred, only to have them bombarded with the news from a more informed (perhaps not accurately so) child on the bus—or from a group of kids in class. Knowing that something has happened but not having anyone to explain it in age-appropriate terms and how it relates to our specific children can be frightening to anyone. We all need context, assurance and our own concerns addressed by someone we trust—our kids actually need information to feel safe and-- as a parent or educator who knows the child, you are the perfect person to have this conversation with them. I've talked about this on national TV shows and in written press but I thought it was important to talk about it on my podcast—especially through the lens of anxiety as many kids have trouble dealing with such large-scale events. My next guest tells us that since you know your child best, “it's important to manage the conversation (Or, shall we say, tailor it) based on who they are, what they already know, and what it means for them.” Karen Young has been on our podcast before- talking about anxiety. In fact, her podcast episode is in the top 5 most downloaded episodes of How to Talk to Kids about Anything, of all time. She is back today to discuss with me how we can talk to kids about traumatic world events. Karen has worked as a psychologist in private practice and in educational settings.
