Have you ever considered whether your anxious child’s emotions are being overlooked in the daily chaos of life?

Let’s face it… life is busy enough for any parent and it has possibly intensified since resuming normal activities after Covid restrictions.

It can be stressful especially when your child is adding drama to your day…

…refusing to get dressed…

…complaining because they don’t like the breakfast you’ve made for them…

…resisting as you try to get them out the door to school.

You simply don’t have the time to deal with it!

If this is what’s happening for you, don’t beat yourself up. That’s not going to help. It’s a normal part of parenting, especially when you have an anxious child.

What your child needs is to feel listened to.

They need to be heard – and heard now!

In the content-filled video below I'll show you a clear 3-step strategy to reduce the amount of stress you have to face. At the same time, it will help you meet your child’s emotional needs right when they need it.

Hello, it's Sue Stevenson here. Do you find yourself drowning in the busyness of life?

Feeling guilty because you just don't have the time to give your child the attention they need?

Let's face it, being a parent can be a tough gig, especially when you're trying to juggle work and family life. And on top of that, you've got an anxious child demanding all your attention.

You feel totally stretched in every direction, and you feel massive parent guilt because you just don't have the time to give your child the attention they need.

You're trying to get out the door in the mornings and, yet again, your child's telling you they feel sick.

Oh, in those moments, it's so hard not to become frustrated and lose patience with your child!

I totally get that. You hear that voice in your head saying, “If only we could get through the day without the fuss and drama, life would be just so much easier.”

And the thing is, your child is not behaving this way to be difficult. The truth is, they're simply not coping with how to regulate their emotions in that moment.

What they really need is your patience, understanding, and guidance.

They don't need you to fix the problem and make it go away, which is what most parents naturally try to do. Rather than fix the problem or lose patience with your child for being difficult, what your child really needs is for you to stop and pay attention to their emotional needs.

So rather than focusing on the fact that your house is a mess, or your life feels like it's spinning out of control, to reduce the amount of stress in your household you need to make sure your child's emotional needs are being met by giving your child the attention they need.

Now, stay with me here because I get that this sounds so much easier said than done.
