In today's episode, we tackle a common but complex question: "How can I support my anxious child while also addressing their inappropriate behavior?" Using a real-life example of a parent dealing with their 10-year-old's morning meltdowns before school, I explore some of the root causes of school refusal, the importance of ensuring a supportive environment, and strategies for managing anxiety and inappropriate behavior. From assessing whether the issue could be due to a poor school fit, separation anxiety, or lack of sleep, to planning and setting boundaries, I offer comprehensive advice on creating a balanced approach that supports both the child's emotional needs and your behavioral expectations.

On a personal note, my daughter is moving back home to start college, and we'll be navigating the challenges of living together again.

Is it my child's anxiety? Or is it a preference? 11:39

לפני 11 weeks11:39

11:39

In this episode, we address a common concern among families—distinguishing between a child's anxiety and personal preferences. We explore how to identify if a child's behavior is driven by anxiety or simply a lack of interest in certain activities. Tune in to gain insights on this important topic and learn strategies to better understand your child's needs. Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe to my podcast for more valuable content! Takeaways: Understanding the distinction between a child's anxiety and their preferences is crucial. Avoidance behaviors in children may indicate anxiety, requiring careful observation and support. Encouraging children to experiment with their fears can help differentiate anxiety from preference. Social anxiety often overlaps with introversion, necessitating nuanced approaches for understanding children's behaviors. Parents should consider their child's interests and motivations when addressing anxiety-related issues. Regular engagement in anxiety-provoking situations can enhance a child's coping skills and resilience. Links referenced in this episode: childanxietysupport.com /podcast…

Welcome to the Child Anxiety FAQ Podcast with Dawn Friedman, where listeners' questions about child and teen anxiety are answered by a seasoned child anxiety expert.
