Before-School Anxiety (spot-coaching w/ parent)


Do you ever wonder how to decrease your child’s morning anxiety so the day can start on a positive note, for everyone?

Last Friday, during my free “Connect & Ask Questions” group call, Paula asked me about before-school anxiety with her 8-year-old son.

Paula’s ‘Q’ was: “What can I do about his morning anxiety?  It’s stressful for him and it’s stressful for me.”

With a little on-the-spot coaching, we dug into their parent-child dynamic to understand what could be at the root of morning stress.  

Then, we talked about a couple customized strategies to navigate the mornings with more ease.

Want to hear our entire conversation?  Paula asks her question starting at the 16-minute mark. Tune in here.

If you’ve read a bunch of parenting books but feel stumped when it comes to applying a strategy in your family, I want to invite you to more spot-coaching opportunities.

Every week, during my 8-week online parent training, you learn a brain-based parenting tool that calms “fire in the brain,” and then we do spot-coaching with at least one family so everyone gets to learn a PRACTICAL way to insert the tool in real, and complex, family dynamics.

Online class starts this Friday, May 6 @ 12:30pm-2:00pm Central and runs for eight weeks.  All classes are recorded so that you &/or your co-parent can watch when it’s most convenient.  I hope you join us!

I’ll send one more spot-coaching video tomorrow so be on the lookout for that!

Warmly,

Samantha
