Summary

Anxiety likes victims. It likes followers. Anxiety likes to bully, dictate and control every thought, action and decision. Anxiety… completely sucks. So how do you help your child who is genetically doomed to live life in the shadows of anxiety? How do you teach them that there are other options - that being a victim isn’t the only choice. How do you empower your child to fight anxiety? As parents, we have a big role in empowering our children to fight anxiety. We can inadvertently teach them how to be anxiety’s victim or how to be anxiety’s slayer. I opt for the latter. How about you? ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

0:00.0	Welcome to AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get supporting guidance through the chaos of parenting.
0:07.0	Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:11.0	Well, hello there, and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival
0:17.1	Podcast. Today I want to talk to you about kind of a loose topic, but I actually think it's a really important one, and that is how do we motivate
0:26.8	our kids to fight their anxiety.
0:30.6	And so anxiety tends to look really similar for most of the kids that I see and not to be jaded but like every time I see a new kid in my practice I've heard all the stories, I've heard all the stories before, I've heard all the struggles before,
0:46.8	it all sounds very, very similar because anxiety has a very strong genetic component and anxiety themes all look very
0:55.7	similar. I mean granted every kid has kind of like their unique little twist to
1:00.2	the anxiety theme but I really don't hear any unique anxiety themes because they're all really, really similar.
1:08.0	The thing that is different, though, are the family dynamics, so how you interact with your child is different for each
1:16.3	family and how your child interacts with their anxiety, which I know that
1:21.8	sounds totally weird, but kids are different. So their
1:27.2	personalities are different and your parenting is different and when you put that
1:31.8	in the mix, then anxiety looks really different for each
1:35.2	family and for each kid.
1:37.7	So I want to talk to you today about how to build up a fighter in your house, how you can
1:45.0	you can empower your child and what things that you can be doing
1:48.6	and your child can be doing to not be a victim to anxiety.
1:52.0	That's a pretty good topic, right?
1:53.4	Because that's kind of key to everything.
1:56.6	And that's why I thought I'll talk about it today.
1:59.1	Because as you know, if you listen to me at all,
