Summary

It’s nice to live in the moment, be in the now. But what if it could be more than nice? What if it could help reduce your child’s level of anxiety? What if it can train your child’s brain to stay connected and not live in the trauma of “what if’s?”

In this latest episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk to you about how you can teach your child to build their muscle for being in the present and living a more connected life.

Also, sign up for my FREE series called Survival Tools for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD. It starts in just a few weeks and you can watch the videos anytime during the week the series is running.

0:00.0	Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through
0:08.1	the chaos of parenting a child with anxiety or OCD.
0:12.1	This show is for educational purposes and is not intended to replace the guidance of
0:16.5	a qualified professional.
0:18.0	Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:22.1	Well, hello there, and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.
0:29.0	Hope you guys are doing well.
0:30.6	Today, I want to talk to you about how to get our kids to live in the moment.
0:35.4	You know, it's very, it's very invoked right now to talk about mindfulness or talk about
0:40.4	living in the now, and it's great in concept, but I know for myself, I really struggled

1:34.8	you do with that? How do you get a child to live in the moment? Because we don't, we can't
1:38.3	micromanage their brain. I mean, I always say that when it comes to OCD, right?
1:43.0	And even an anxiety, we don't get to choose whether they have mental compulsions or whether
