Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 113: Psychologist Dr. Dawn Huebner on Helping Children Who Worry Too Much · 19 Jun 2018 podcast

You know, kids are just so under the thrall of their anxiety that it's hard for them to imagine challenging it in any way.

And for kids like that, I think that parents can be educating themselves, either with my book or with um something that's written specifically for parents, and parents can be starting to use the skill set or to do things differently themselves, and that in and of itself changes things.

It requires a child to manage in a somewhat different way, and that can still be really useful.

Right.

But even, you know, more directly, like you can talk about sort of family goals or what you want for your child.

You know, you might talk about in our family, we don't let our fears stop us from doing things.

Or in our family, we feel like our world is too strong too small if we just stay within our comfort zone.

So we really value taking chances.

We really value challenging ourselves.

themselves and then talking to kids, you know, about how to do that.

And it's okay to carve the challenges into tiny, tiny steps because we want kids to feel successful.

Um, you know, we don't want them to feel like they're facing a challenge that is just so overwhelming to them and they're not going to succeed.

Um, so I work with parents a lot about how to make the steps small enough so that their child can succeed.

And succeeding feels good.

and then you take the next step and eventually you get where you want to go.

Yeah, I I think that the most important thing is the externalization piece to start thinking about worry as separate from you or separate from your child.

And there's this question about who's gonna win.

Is the worry going to win or is your child going to win?

And you're helping your child learn how to be the one to win.
