Parenting Anxiety, Together

A course for parents/caregivers that will help our kids.

Suggested Daily Practice:

5 minutes with my child of non-corrective, engaged interaction daily.
5 minutes of writing (worksheet or journal reflections and observations).
one self-compassion practice.
celebrate a ‘win.’

You can find the syllabus, worksheets, and videos in this section. To start, let’s highlight the four pillars of parenting we will focus on, together.

❋ Self-compassion

Self-compassion is treating ourselves with warmth and kindness. Kristen Neff and Chris Germer are two pioneering researchers in self-compassion who defined it as having three components: mindfulness, self-compassion, and common humanity. Find the self-compassion rating scale here.

❋ Nervous system science

Anxiety involves an exaggerated fear response and a heightened state of activation. Learning about anxiety with a nervous system lens can allow for growth when we learn the tools of awareness and ways to down-regulate our nervous system.

❋ Communication

Our words are only one part of how we communicate our thoughts and feelings. In this pillar, we will examine ways to cue safety through words and non-verbal methods of communication.

❋ Resilience

Anxiety involves facing our fears and building resilience. In this pillar, we focus on expanding capacity to stay regulated. Contrary to common assumption, resilience is not a genetic trait. It can be cultivated and learned.
