Thank you GoZen: Anxiety Relief for Children for this reminder.
Original Post Sept 27

📌 It’s hard for kids, tweens, and even teens to come to their parents and say, “I’m experiencing feelings of anxiety.” Our kids cannot always articulate what they are feeling internally, which means parents have to become “decoders.”

📌 Understanding what our kids go through when they experience anxiety begins with awareness, open communication, and compassion.

📌 Sometimes we have to act as an “investigator” and dig deeper.

📌 Parents can understand their child’s anxiety by actively listening, showing empathy, and providing the comfort and guidance needed to navigate these challenging emotions together.

Child protection consists of reducing risks to children's holistic wellbeing, making children's rights to protection a reality, restoring hope and a dignified life where abuse and violence has occured and creating an enabling environment that supports children's positive development.

Responding to suspected criminal child abuse is part of our organisation's culture, leadership and internal practices.We do this through safeguarding and chikd protection training, safeguarding code of conduct, child protection policy and procedures, safe recruitment, and listening to and empower children.

I'm working on this hardcore right now with some of my OT kids (and always with my children I'm the mom of, too).

It's children's job to assert as hard as they can, starting at about 2.5-3ish, that they are a Different Person Than You!!! And they have Different Thoughts and Different Opinions!!! And they will assert that as hard as it takes for them to feel "heard" by what their behavior is saying.

Here's a trick you can try. If you find your child becoming wildly more and more demanding about a specific thing or task or part of their day, and it's happening routinely, consider what part of that thing or task or part of their day you can give them more independence over.

Child flipping out about you getting them more water right now? Set up a way (a small pitcher, a faucet extender and stepstool, little Dixie cups by the bathroom sink -- whatever works for you) for them to be able to get their own water.

Child routinely laughing hysterically and kicking when you try to put their pants on? Build an extra 30 minutes into your schedule and let them try it themselves, or their socks or shoes or shirt or jacket or anything they're interested in, or just a step of it -- pulling it up their legs, taking the pajamas off, whatever it is.

[Image description: A picture of a child in the background gazing into the distance. The quote over it says, "The less autonomy a child is given, the more they will try to assert control over every tiny little thing, in an attempt to get it back. And the reverse is also true. The more autonomy a child is given, the more easily they will be willing to give up control when necessary, because it doesn't threaten their sense of autonomy." The quote is by Blimie Heller, and the image was made by Neuro Child.]
