PARENTING TIPS FOR ANXIOUS KIDS- Sara Wells, LMSW
Tip #1. BUILD YOUR CHILD'S EMOTIONAL STRENGTH :
It’s important to praise your child for facing challenges, trying something new, or exhibiting brave behavior. Some children like big, loud, exuberant praises, while others like a quiet pat on the back. There is a lot you can do to help build your child’s competence. Search to find avenues where your child can show that they are good at something (music, art, sports). Also, be sure your child has jobs around the house that show your child contributes to the family. These things can significantly help boost your child’s self-esteem and self-worth. Give it a try!
Also, here are some current programs available:
