💞🧠 It's exam season here in the UK, which is hard on all our teens. The pressure is immense and can greatly impact their mental health and family life. My two girls are both going through this currently (one sitting GCSEs & the other, 2nd year medical school exams). Here are a few of the most important things to hold onto and try if you're a parent with children facing exams right now... If you're concerned about your child's level of anxiety, don't ignore it. Anxiety rarely goes away on its own. Comment YES if you'd like to watch my free training for parents as a starting point.

My son (age 9) is adhd/gad/asd. He has a huge heart. This was his way of supporting me stopping smoking 🚬. 30 ways to destroy cigarettes. We both do a weigh in on sundays. He needs to lose some but he also uses it as a time to support me in gaining. Hes very very aware of the people he loves. Just a huge heart, very vocal, no filter. This is actually one of the reasons the school is concerned about him. They love his big heart, but they think this behavior is concerning. He drew this at school. They had talked about cigarettes at school that day. I would worry except he isnt ignoring himself at all either. Their concern is over his level of awareness, but compliment his big heart. Contradictory. Is it just me? They are looking at it like its strange? How do you handle a school concerned your child has too big of a heart? Thats a new one. Late in life child. Sometimes i wonder if its just that im not dealing with my own generation anymore at the school? #kidswithbighearts #autismawareness #kidsanxiety #adhdawareness #kidsADHD

🌸Gardening as a transformational practice of helping people with anxiety or trauma has a therapeutic effect on Maya, the protagonist of 'The Garden of Hope', who faces challenging practical and emotional circumstances after the loss of her mother. 🌾Despite the untidiness of the house and the overgrown garden, Maya's Dad is a skilled storyteller who helps her deal with her emotions. Anxiety seems to be a family issue when he shares that her mother, too, was overwhelmed at times, but she found inner peace in planting. And that's what Maya did: clean the ground, tidy the weeds, plant seeds. Her father joined, and the result was a stunning place of beauty where bees and ladybirds came, birds moved in, and hedgehogs arrived. The garden transforms into a place of love, enjoyment and finding purpose. 🌻' The Garden of Hope' is a story for special occasions, helping children who go through grief and other deep emotions. Although introducing the missing mother in the first line could be an emotional stretch, the story delivers gardening as a tool for finding hope and purpose. The mixed-media illustrations capture the disorganisation of the house run by the father and encourage children to create, plant, and celebrate outdoors. What other practices or tools do you use to deal with anxiety? • Title: The Garden of Hope • Author and Illustrator: Isabel Otter & Katie Rewse • Publication Date: 2018 • Publisher: Caterpillar Books/ Little Tiger • Recommended age: 5-8 • Categories/Topic: anxiety, loss, gardening #ilovepicturebooks #storyhour #readingforkids #bookswelove #abookaday #readtome #childrenspicturebooks #kidlit #kidsbookshelf #picturebookreview #picturebooksaboutgrief #picturebooksaboutanxiety #picturebooksaboutgardening #kidsanxiety #kidsmentalhealt #kidsmentalhealthmatters

It's true... wellbeing tools are simply practices that we can do in our day-to-day that support our wellbeing. Whether it's something we do when we feel a little out of balance, something we do every day as a ritual, these practices give us a way to self-regulate and support our systems to wellbeing. The wellbeing tools I work with are inspired by the ancient arts of qigong, mindfulness and yoga ... one thing I have realised in my near-20 years of #learningeveryday is that to benefit from them, they don't have to be complicated. The easier the better as that not only encourages our mind to learn them but to also USE them. The best thing is, when you're doing these with the kids in your life, they'll also be supporting your own mind and body. If you're inspired to learn easy wellbeing tools that you can do with kids you work with, you might be interested in joining us at NannyCon this April 27th & 28th to explore and experience ways you can incorporate wellbeing tools into your day-to-day life.

💞🧠 Hi 👋. I'm Emma-Jayne, qualified child therapist, psychotherapist and parent coach. I bring 23 years clinical training and practice to this account, in addition to my own lived experience of transforming my own and my 2 children's once debilitating anxiety into greater resilience so we are no longer held back or limited by it. I know how hard it is to parent a highly sensitive, or anxious child. I've spent years figuring out what really works to get to the root of, and truly transform Anxiety and I want to use this account to empower parents by giving you effective and transformative information, support and strategies. I'm here to give you hope that it's very possible to transform even longstanding anxiety difficulties in your child. The problem is, a lot of the most powerful tools I teach are often counter intuitive. This is why so many parents feel so overwhelmed, stressed and guilty. Because they are understsndably stuck in the patterns of responding that are inadvertantly growing their child's anxiety. Please reach out for support. Even if your child is neurodiverse, the things I share on this account will still be effective and many of the parents I support on my Raising the BRAVE programme have been exactly where you are. You are absolutely not to blame for your child's anxiety but you are the key to transforming it. Comment YES if you'd like a free call with me to find out more about my Raising the BRAVE programme.

☀️Summer is almost here! And while it’s typically known as a fun transition from the hussle and bussle of the school year; for many children with anxiety it isn’t always all sunshine. Here are a few tips to help navigate this new season and make it enjoyable for the entire family. Pinpoint what might cause your childs anxiety as summer may bring a new schedule, new activities, or new babysitters. To do this ask open-ended questions. Instead of saying “Are you nervous to meet the new babysitter?” Ask “How do you feel about having a new babysitter?” Once you know what the fear is, encourage them to face the new situation with confidence. Come up with fun ideas to do with the new sitter, or questions to ask to get to know him/her better. Get outside! Many children with sensory issues may want to stay in their safe space and stay indoors with tv shows or video games, but fresh air and exercise will always be beneficial for the mind and body. Whether it is a day camp, walk around the block or riding bikes up and down the driveway, find the one thing your child really enjoys and encourage daily time outside while the weather is nice. 🌿🚲 . . . . #adhd #adhdawareness #summerskills #anxiety #kidsanxiety #summerplans #therapy #childrenstherapy #getoutside #getoutsideandplay

MAGIC OF KIDS’ YOGA PARENTING HACK: Introduce your kids to the magic of yoga! 🧘‍♂️🌈 Nurturing emotional resilience, self-awareness, and a sprinkle of joy in their everyday lives. Did you know? Yoga has been linked to improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and enhanced overall mood in children. It's a holistic approach to raising happy, healthy, and emotionally intelligent individuals. At Helping Children: Child Psychology Services, many of the children we work with encounter difficulties in recognizing the bodily expressions of their emotions and learning how to regulate these emotions. Hence, we frequently encourage children to consider enrolling in yoga classes. 🌈 Yoga equips children with essential life skills, teaching them to manage their emotions through insight and intentional responses. It promotes self-confidence, encourages healthy self-expression, and fosters a deep sense of inner peace. Introducing yoga to your child is a meaningful step toward enhancing their mental health and emotional well-being. 🌞 #parentinghack #alberta #childrensmentalhealth #childrensyoga #edmonton #yeg @mettayogaedmonton

Separation Anxiety - does your child worry about being left on their own? Bookasaurus sometimes worries about being on his own even if I’m just upstairs and he’s downstairs. Neurodiverse children can struggle with object permanence (knowing that something still exists even if you can’t sense it) and feel things more intensely. He also doesn’t like it if I’m a bit late for picking him up from school. I asked him why and he said he’s worried that I won’t come and what will happen to him if I don’t pick him up. Children innately want to feel safe. I’ve explained that he’s safe with the teachers, that I will always come and pick him up and sometimes I just get held up or I’m talking to another mummy and forget the time. He’s said I’m not allowed to talk to other mums on the school run now! He does have more of an understanding that things will be ok but can still worry. I encourage him to share his feelings and share my own experiences of when I’ve felt scared and the better thoughts that have made me feel calmer. He has a strong attachment to me and that’s healthy as long as it doesn’t stop him from doing things. So we are trying something new to help him understand that I’m always around even if he can’t see me - playing hide and seek! When I’m hiding I’ve said even though he can’t see me he knows I’m still there. He loves hide and seek and lots of younger children like peek a boo so it’s a fun learning opportunity. Tips to help with separation: ❤️ Visualise the separation going well and how happy/proud you feel of child coping well ❤️ Use a visual chart with photos/pictures to show where mummy is, who will be looking after your child and when you’re coming back ❤️ Let your child pick a toy/object 🧸 for each of you that you can take with you to maintain a sense of connection and reunite them when you come together again Jo - Your safe space to land throughout your journey ❤️ #learningtoloveautism #kidsanxiety #separation #hideandseek #visuals #empoweringmums #autismawareness

💞🧠 This is a question I get asked a lot by parents so I thought I'd offer my take on this both as a professional and a parent... The important take away is that it's sometimes not clear cut. If there is enough suspicion and indicators of autism then I'd always advice pursuing an official assessment. Both HSC and Autistic children are more prone to experiencing hightened Anxiety. While its helpful to know if your child is HS or Autistic, the way I empower and teach parents to respond to transform their anxiety is very similar. Comment YES if you'd like my free guide on supporting your highly sensitive child. Also happy to hear others opinions on this topic... 🤍 #childhoodanxiety #highlysensitivechild #anxietytreatment #nervoussystemregulation #polyvagaltheory #understandinganxiety #anxietytips #anxietyrecovey #anxiouskids #coregulation #anxietysupport #kidsanxiety #kidsanxietyrelief #childrensmentalhealth #childpsychology #autismawareness

💞🧠 Looking beyond a child's behaviour to understand the underlying needs is a crucial approach in effective parenting and in helping our highly sensitive and anxious children build resilience.  As parents and carers/teachers, we need to see behaviour not just as something to be managed but as a form of communication. This perspective invites adults to become curious and empathetic rather than reactionary and potentially missing an opportunity for the child to feel seen and understood. I honestly believe that every behaviour has a purpose, and often, children act out because they are experiencing emotions or needs they cannot express in any other way. They might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, insecure, hungry, tired, or overstimulated. They might be seeking attention not for attention’s sake, but for a deeper, often unconscious need for connection, understanding, or reassurance of their safety and belonging. Getting curious about the underlying needs involves observing, asking questions, and listening. It's about stepping into the child's shoes and seeing the world from their perspective. Questions like "What might my child be feeling right now?" or "What need is my child trying to meet through this behaviour?" can help clarify the situation. This approach does not just apply to negative behaviours but to all behaviours, as it can reveal positive insights into a child’s development and deeper motivations In essence, looking beyond behaviour and getting curious about their underlying needs, empowers both adults and children.  This not only transforms individual incidents of challenging or baffling behaviour but also contributes to a child’s long-term well-being and resilience. Comment YES if you'd like to know more about how I help empower parents to transform their child's anxiety into greater resilience and confidence. You don't have to do this alone 🤍

Dear Researcher’s Log, I’ve made an unsettling discovery. I’ve found a clear correlation between stress levels and my ability to recall facts and details. During today’s spelling test I couldn’t remember how to spell ‘BEAUTIFUL’, but I had just played it the last night in Scrabble for 56 points! How could I forget? The only logical conclusion is that the raised corticol levels from the testing environment have rendered the glucocorticoid receptors in my brain inert. My hippocampus is beset with woes, dear Researcher’s Log! I vow to never stress over a silly test again. At this rate, even Fei-Fei will beat me during the next game night. This will not stand! Faithfully, Wendy Welldigger

Child grief anxiety, following the death of a family member, presents a challenging emotional journey for children. Heightened concerns about the well-being of the remaining family members often create a sense of unease. In such instances, a child psychologist plays a pivotal role in addressing the a child's fears of further deaths within the family.🌧️ The psychologist uses children's books, reciprocal discussions, and age-appropriate explanations to help a child understand the nature of death. This involves offering realistic reassurance about the safety of the remaining family members, easing anxiety, and rebuilding a sense of security. 🤗 Addressing behavioral changes, like clinginess or withdrawal, is another focus. Psychologists use practical strategies to strengthen bonds and create coping mechanisms for when a child is apart from key supports. This equips a child with tangible tools to handle anxiety and navigate grief more effectively. 🛡️ 🤝 👨👩 Teachers and parents play vital roles in identifying potential signs of anxiety in children and determining when professional intervention is necessary. 👨 #Teachers: Share concerns if you notice persistent anxiety signs affecting school performance. This includes reluctance to attend, social withdrawal, perfectionism, and seeking excessive reassurance. 👩 #Parents: Be alert to tearfulness, fearfulness, and avoidance, especially beyond school. If these persist, consider reaching out to a child psychologist. 🤝 Collaborative parent-teacher efforts, with timely #childpsychology support, can effectively manage #childhoodanxiety. Parents 👨👩 in #Alberta, #Edmonton, or #YEG, contact Helping Children: Child Psychology Services for a complimentary consultation. Our specialized clinic focuses on ages 2 to 12 👧👦, offers children's therapy in-person or virtually. 💻 🧒🎨📚🧸 🎲👧 You can connect with us by sending an email to [email protected], and we'll be happy to set up a phone call.📞📧 For those outside Alberta, we encourage you to seek support from a local #childpsychologist in your area. 🌍

🧠 #savechildhood #connectionmatters Many times children are being over-pathologized and diagnosed at the external expression level. When we support the basic biological contributors that all research supports for healthy brains and bodies we find deeper changes than we could have ever hoped for. Metabolic dysfunction is happening in even very young children and has a PROFOUND impact on brain and nervous system development, form and function. Just an example of one function: This is the profile of many of my pediatric patients: When tested their A1C are either out of range or on the cusp, their Beta cell-insulin function the same: Their profile is this: 😞aren’t sleeping well 😠have emotional lability 😵trouble focusing 😴crashing in the afternoons 😪really hard to get going in the am 🍭crave sweets 🍕don’t eat enough protein/good quality fat and fiber-rich vegetables Together we can #savechildhood one small metabolic, autonomic nervous system support at a time! 🥰

The green smoothie described above can offer several mental health benefits for kids. Here are some ways the ingredients in the smoothie can contribute to mental well-being: Nutrient-rich ingredients: The smoothie includes fresh spinach, berries, and banana, which are all rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These nutrients support brain health and cognitive function, helping to maintain a healthy mood. Omega-3 fatty acids: Chia seeds, if included in the smoothie, are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are known for their positive impact on mental health and can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in children. Natural sugars and fiber: The smoothie contains natural sugars from fruits like banana and berries. These provide a quick energy boost and can help regulate blood sugar levels. The fiber in the smoothie aids digestion and helps prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes, promoting stable energy levels and mood. Probiotics: Greek yogurt contains beneficial probiotics that support gut health. Emerging research suggests a strong connection between gut health and mental health, as the gut microbiota influences brain function and mood regulation. Hydration: The almond milk used in the smoothie can contribute to maintaining proper hydration. Even mild dehydration can negatively affect mood and cognitive performance, so ensuring adequate fluid intake is essential for optimal mental well-being. Taste and enjoyment: A tasty and appealing smoothie can have a positive impact on a child’s mood by providing a delicious treat that they enjoy consuming. #kidsmentalhealth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #childrensmentalhealth #parenting #kidsmentalhealthmatters #kids #mentalhealthmatters #parentingtips #wellbeing #mindfulness #mindfulparenting #anxiety #calmkids #kidsanxiety #healthykids #kidswellbeing #parents #meditation #positiveparenting #mentalwellness #selfcare #kidshealth

Communication is key to understanding, healing and healthy relationships. When you feel an emotion, take a deep breath and notice all the feelings. Then ask yourself what’s happening in the moment. The key is to sit with those uncomfortable feelings. And when you’re ready, take even the smallest action, towards your values, and being the person you are proud to be. 💌 Follow us @embrace_calmer_kids 🔗 Website Link in Bio - Get Free Printables and Resources #communicate #embraceyourspark #embracekidcoaching #embracecalmerkids #calmerkids #happierparents #managinganxiety #anxiouschildren #anxietyinteens #calm #ACT #kidsanxiety #happierlife #kidsmentalhealth #kidcoach #kidslifecoach #coachingkids #toolsforlife #helpwithanxiety #reduceanxiety #lovelife #wellbeing #happykids #happyteens #positivekids #calmkids #anxietyhelp #anxietyrelief #anxiouskids #anxietyinkids
