You may have noticed that we're getting ready to launch another parenting group to support children who struggle with anxiety or emotion regulation. I thought we would offer a little insight into some of what we'll be discussing.

We know that behaviour is influenced by the effects of that behaviour. We are all more likely to do things that 'work well' for us, and to avoid doing things that don't work, or that possibly make us feel bad. And this is really important to consider when we're thinking about anxiety and avoidance.

It's only natural that whenever we're faced with thoughts or situations that make us uncomfortable, fearful, or anxious, the tendency is to do anything we possibly can to avoid or run away from those stressors. As a child, that might be to shout, scream, throw the schoolwork on the floor. Or as a parent, it could be to just put the schoolwork away because it's causing everyone stress. And those are understandable behaviours.

But what we know is that often, these coping or avoidance behaviours 'work' in the short-term by offering some relief in the moment, but feed the issue in the long term and can interfere with some things that are really important to us. So we'll be discussing this, and how we can make small, really achievable changes to keep us moving towards what's important, rather than possibly restricting our/our children's lives.

May I share to our parents please?

If you care for a child who struggles with anxiety or regulating emotions, you may notice they tend to get stuck. That anxious thought, fear, or possibly even agitation or rage seems to take hold and they just can’t seem to move beyond. So what can you do to help?

Read our new blog at to learn one simple but effective step you can take today to help your child begin to recognise and live with some of those tough thoughts and feelings. ... See MoreSee Less
