Parent Coaching
Coaching program for parents with anxious kids.
Helping Your Child With Anxiety
When your child has anxiety, it can be hard to know the best way to help them. Should you let them steer clear of the situations that make them fearful? Or should you push them to face their fears? ThrivePointe can help you figure that out! We offer an evidence-based program for parents of kids and teens with anxiety. Over the course of seven coaching sessions, an experienced ThrivePointe therapist can help you:
- Learn how anxiety affects your child.
- Understand the traps of protecting your child from their anxiety and demanding that they not be anxious.
- Understand how helping your child avoid anxiety can make things worse.
- Learn how to use supportive statements that communicate acceptance and confidence.
- Develop an action plan to respond in more helpful ways to your child’s anxiety.
- Get support to face challenges as you help your child overcome their fears.
Change your child’s anxiety by changing the way you respond.
