Kids Anxiety Solutions

Social Media Tip #1
SNAPCHAT
Know your child’s ‘score’.
This number can be found under the profile icon when opening their app. This score represents the number of Snaps or photos sent and received since they began using the app.
Divide this number by the number of years or months they have had the app to see how many they send and receive each year or month. Next step is to continue dividing this number down to see how many they send and receive each week and then day.
It is a sobering activity to do as you will see how many times your child has been distracted within a 24hr period.

The environment we find ourselves in can drastically alter the outcome for our progression in terms of mental health.
Access the environment, sporting team, or activity your child will enjoy and grow in, not shrink and wither away. Does this environment promote the outcome you desire for you child?

Turnaround is a fabulous tool for your toolbox

I got a call from a 20 year-old the other day...

She was calling to tell us that when she was 12 years-old, she used the Turnaround Program to help her overcome her anxiety. She said that it set her free from her fears and that she was so very thankful, that she's been wanting to call for years and finally decided to do it that day! What a joy it was to hear from her, especially after so many years!

Nearly 10,000 children have been helped by the Turnaround Program all over the world. We are so thankful that our 2-year labor of love to create Turnaround has helped so many kids... and parents too!

Do you know a child that struggles with anxiety? Please tell them about Turnaround so that they too can be set from their fears.

Thank you all for enthusiastic support!

Children with asthma are up to 4x more likely to have anxiety disorders. Partly because when a person can’t breathe, the brain registers this as a survival threat and activates the kombucha system. This feels like anxiety. Breathing and relaxation exercises can help reduce the asthma and the anxiety.

Before you think about borrowing a player from another team to improve the potential outcome of your child’s sporting team, think about the underlying message you are teaching the children.
If there are players who turn up every week who will end up on the bench...... what is that child thinking? Is this situation promoting the damage of self worth?
If you you borrow that player to improve the outcome, it is no longer fair to the opposition.
Think about this: the way you play in games is the way you play in life.
If we want our children to be fair, teach them by what you do, and by the situations you put them in. Don’t borrow player to win. The messages are no good for anyone.

Here is a glimpse into a page in the draft copy of a book written by a child who is trying to crush anxiety on a daily basis and knows what it takes to try and stay on track without his world shrinking too much. The hope is that he can help other children to battle with anxiety with success. The messages come from a child to a child. I’ve been told that ‘adults just don’t get it sometimes’.

If only we could teach this to every child at school. Imagine the impact.....
Imagine all the students.... living life in peace.

You can’t stop the waves coming. Sometimes they are dumpers. Sometimes they are predictable, smooth, with crystal clear waters.
Whatever waves you face, you must choose to body surf, grab a boogie board, or don’t enter without a jet ski.
Remember what tools are in your tool kit, and know when to use them.
