Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through

the chaos of parenting a child with anxiety or OCD.

This show is for educational purposes and is not intended to replace the guidance of

a qualified professional.

Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.

Hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.

I hope you're doing well.

Today I want to talk to you about what do you do when your child or your teenager is

just not wanting to use their coping mechanisms.

You're telling them you have coping skills, how about you use them, and you're getting

no traction.

Some kids have an aversion to using coping skills.

And so that is why I invited Janine Hollerin back onto the show.

I've had her twice before, I think, or maybe three times.

She is actually one of my favorite people, to be honest, and I love talking to her because

she's so down to earth and she has such good, helpful resources in this area.

And so she is my go-to expert on coping skills and that's why I've had her on quite a few

times before.

So for those of you that do not know her, I'll introduce you to her work.

She is a licensed mental health counselor, she's an author of the best-selling book,

coping skills for kids, and coping skills for teens, two incredible books that are kind

of like every therapist's book on their shelf.
