One of the greatest ways you can help your anxious child is to encourage them to accept failure and let go of expecting everything to be exactly the way they want things to be.

This can be easier said than done, so in the video below I share with you some of the most powerful TOOLS you can use to help you with this.

Best of all…

…you have EVERY ONE of these tools available to you RIGHT NOW… and they’re FREE.

Once you start using these tools, I’m sure you’ll see the potential they offer to help your anxious child, and to transform their life, and yours.

Hello, it's Sue Stevenson here. Today I want to talk to you about letting go of trying to be perfect.

Do you have a child who's afraid of making a mistake?

Perhaps your child's afraid of sitting tests or exams or speaking up in class or being told off by their teacher. Or perhaps they're afraid of feeling stupid if they get something wrong.

Well, perhaps your child worries a lot about what other people think, so they're always trying to please people and come across as perfect.

I heard a mum talking about her daughter the other day and her daughter had a free dress day at school. She just couldn't decide what to wear for fear of being judged by her peers. So she was really resisting going to school.

Another parent told me that her son was obsessed with getting his hair just right.

And a 15 year old girl I know spends an hour and a half every morning before school trying to get her hair and makeup perfect, which drives her parents crazy.

Now, if fear is holding your child back and your child has become a people pleaser or is constantly worried about getting things perfect for fear of being judged, here's what I want you to do to help your anxious child..

Firstly, accept imperfection in yourself.

Tell your child that it's okay to fail. Explain to them that we all learn from our mistakes, and tell your child you don't expect them to be perfect. Assure your child that it doesn't matter if they make mistakes. You love them and just want them to be happy, and that's awesome. Go you!

Now, I want you to ask yourself though…

…how do you feel when you make a mistake?

Or perhaps when your house is a mess and unexpected visitors arrive?

Or how do you feel being seen out in public without makeup on?

Or do you ever find yourself striving for perfection, worrying about what other people think?

Do you ever redo things or put a lot of energy into getting something just right?

Do you ever find yourself comparing yourself to other parents wanting to be the perfect parent yourself, yet feeling far from it?

If so, perhaps you are having trouble accepting imperfection in yourself. So I encourage you to let go of trying to be perfect because this will really help your child.

So stuff up and start feeling comfortable with that.
