Welcome to AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get supporting guidance through the chaos of parenting.

Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.

Hey there, I hope you're having a great day, and welcome to episode six of the AT parenting survival podcast.

In this episode, I'm going to be talking about how do you help your anxious child and for starters I want to talk about nine things that you should avoid doing

And now do you have an anxious child and are you trying to raise them in a way that is effective? I get you because I have

three of them and it could be tricky because you could be trying to parent them in the way that

you parent maybe your other kids or the way that other people

parent their kids and it's not working and it's not working because you have to

parent an anxious child in a completely different way than non-anxious kids.

Now that's not all the time, but a lot of the time.

A lot of time the stuff that you might have found very effective with your other kids just completely won't work with your anxious ones.

So I want to tell you the things to avoid so that you can get on the right track. Now some of what I'm going to talk about

are things that I have learned from sitting there in my practice week after week, month after month,

year after year, and hearing what parents have tried to do and

seeing what isn't working.

And so that's actually a great scientific experiment because I'm getting data all the

time from families on what does and doesn't work.

I also have my own kids and my own experiences and things that I do because I'm human or my husband does because he's human

where I'm like okay note to self that completely did not work in fact that was a

horrible horrible thing to do let's not do that again.

So that's where all of this is coming from.

So let's break it down.
