Crush Anxious Thoughts (Video for Kids with Anxiety)

This video is not intended to replace medical advice. This is for information purposes only. This video is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a local mental health professional. The hardest part about having anxiety is the onslaught of anxious thoughts day after day after day. Now imagine you are just a kid. A kid who is learning how to tie his shoes. To multiply and divide. To make friends and keep friends. The constant flood of anxious thoughts is enough to make a child stop dead in their tracks. It is enough to make them want to retreat, to not get out of bed. It can derail their education and their ability to socialize.
When anxious thoughts are entertained, developed and expanded upon, children with anxiety are immobilized. Horrific images and scenes play out in their little heads. A zillion What-If scenarios are entertained and considered.
Wouldn’t it be nice if anxious kids became aware of these thoughts and weren’t just victims to them? Wouldn’t be even nicer if anxious children started to sharpen their skills and learn not only how to notice these worrying thoughts, but how to defeat them?
In my last kids KZfaq video ( • Kids with OCD and Anxi... ) I talked about how to notice anxiety and change the channel in your brain. This week I am going one step further and I am showing kids how to deal with these anxious thoughts one anxious snowball at a time.

Thank you so much. My son was worried about speaking in public at a poetry festival at his school today. Every kid in his class had to say one line. He refused to get out of the car. We had his teacher come to the car to encourage him out, but he refused..... We are home now watching this video. He doesn't feel so alone watching all that you had to say.

Turn from tummy pain to vomiting and panic attacks with school avoidance and never leaving the house if she could....We are working on it really hard and my daughter is always looking to reassurance however we had been told not too! My daughter is almost 9 and we are also working on sleeping alone. Can't wait to see this video. Thank you.

It sounds like your future videos will cover more of this and we can't wait! We really appreciate these videos and are going to do our best to apply your techniques!

Red thoughts: being teleported, the school being moved by a monster, robbers, plane falling out of the sky into the ocean, being stuck in a lift, fear of what something will be like (ballet class or going to a birthday party), loud noises (a cinema or themepark) dying and going to heaven or being 're incarnated , safety at school, suddenly become naked (magically ),
