Description: Millions of people around the world struggle with anxiety. That includes our children. How do we help them handle those feelings? Ted Lowe, Mark Merrill, Buck Buchanan, and BJ Foster break it down into digestible steps. Raising an anxious child can be challenging. As parents, it’s our job to love them well while helping them deal with their feelings. Let them know that it's okay to feel anxious, and that you are there to support them. Empathize and encourage them to share their thoughts and feelings. Your son or daughter needs to know that you are a safe place for them. If your child's anxiety is severe or if it is interfering with his or her daily life, it may require seeking professional help. A therapist can help your child develop a personalized treatment plan that will address their specific needs. Today’s Pro Move: List what makes them anxious and how you’d like to respond to them.
