Summary

It is hard to watch our anxious kids suffer. It is hard to stomach their pain. It is very tempting to swoop in and protect them. To soften their fall. To protect them from feeling discomfort. But that is robbing them of the opportunity to build their skills. I find that the best way to help anxious kids is to teach them how to help themselves.But easy to say, right? But how does one do that?In this week’s podcast episode I outline some of the ways parents can start to empower their kids to help themselves.

0:00.0	Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through the
0:08.2	Chaos of Parenting a Child with Anxiety or OCD.
0:12.1	This show is for educational purposes and is not
0:14.8	intended to replace the guidance of a qualified professional. Here's your
0:18.9	host Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:35.0	Hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. I hope you guys are doing okay. I've been feeling a little down I'm just so disturbed by what's going on in our world today and just when you think things kind of
0:39.8	couldn't get worse it's getting even, and it's just hard to raise kids in general in this

0:59.6	not anxious to cope with just all the struggles and sadness that is going on in our world right now.
1:06.0	So I wanted to devote this episode to teach you how to help your anxious kids help themselves.
1:15.0	It's one of the most common things I'm asked
1:18.0	is how do I get my kid, how do I get my child,
1:21.0	to help themselves?
1:23.0	And a lot of times, overzealous parents,
1:26.0	with well-intentioned purpose, over-help,
1:30.0	and kind of rob their children inadvertently of the opportunity to help themselves.
1:37.0	So I want to talk about what that is, what it looks like, and how do you get started?
1:42.0	What are your first steps in developing a foundation
