Author and educational consultant Noel Foy is here today to tell us some of the do's (and don'ts!) to help our kids with anxiety:* DON'T dismiss the worry* DON'T expect that with work, you/your child will never feel anxiety* DO learn strategies, taught proactively, like the ones Noel teaches in this interview!* DO learn about the brain and how it works (or doesn't work) under anxiety AND teach your kids* DO change your language about worry-inducing situations (Noel shared an awesome, easy-to-implement example!)* DON'T try to protect and rescue, since that doesn't allow our kids to build skills other than "running away from hard things works" this part of the interview is so powerful!* DO feel hope that all anxiety is surmountable and skills are trainable, even for our kids with other challenges like ADHDI personally love learning about the brain and love practical strategies even more, and I know you'll benefit as a parent from this interview!!Visit the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse and see how we teach children confidence in the kitchen: https://kidscookrealfood.comFind all the Kids Cook Real Food Healthy Parenting Connector videos at https://youtu.be/GVRq0m-Ehe4
