In the meantime, it’s going to get messy. What might you do differently next time you get angry? What can I do that would help your anger be here in a different way to yelling at me?’ What you do with those feelings isn’t always okay - like yelling, but I know you know that. All of your feelings are important and I can handle all of them. Big messy feelings don’t have to drive big messy behaviour. Then, when they are calm and feeling connected to us, we can take those feelings and behaviours with gentle hands, and start to show that they can be separate. Our job isn’t to stop those feelings, but to give a safe harbour for those feelings to flow into. The only way children can learn how to manage big feelings is to have big feelings.

This module, 'Stronger Than Anxiety', includes the 'Calming Your Amygdala' workbook. Included in Anxious to Brave is a module specifically for kids and teens to watch on their own or with you. It comes packed with research-backed wisdom and strategies to support parents in guiding their young ones through anxiety, and towards courage and resilience. 'Anxious to Brave' is an in-depth online course with over 7 hours of video content, as well as downloadable workbooks. Enter 'Anxious to Brave', a program for parents to strengthen children and teens against anxiety and extend their reach towards brave behaviour. Like so many good things, the way through anxiety is easier with a little help.
The move through anxiety isn’t an easy one, for children or the adults who love them, but it is absolutely possible. Research has shown that with the right support, information, and strategies, parents and carers have a profound capacity to move children and teens towards brave behaviour and strengthen them towards long-term courage, calm, and resilience. The challenge is to help them realise it too. We know they are capable, brave, strong, and that anxiety doesn't change that a bit. Children with anxiety have everything they need inside them to light up the world, but too often anxiety will tell them a different story.
