Think back to the last time your child, teen or young adult was having an issue with anxiety or OCD. What was the biggest struggle for you.

​
We are often so focused on what they will or won’t do in the moment, that we forget our part.

​
Did you feel overwhelmed? Irritated? Depressed? Hopeless? Anxious? Numb?

As parents, we show up with our own feelings and that has a huge impact on how we respond.

​
For example…

​
If I’m irritated, I’m more likely to respond with annoyance and insensitivity that will most likely trigger my child’s feelings of guilt and shame.

​
If I’m anxious, I might share my what-if’s and flood them with fear to improve.

​
If I’m hopeless, I might just cave and give in to their anxiety or OCD, because I feel like, what’s the point anyway.

​
Our mood and triggers directly impact how we coach our kids through their anxiety or OCD.

​
And it matters…

​
How we interact with our child’s anxiety or OCD not only impacts our wellbeing long-term, it impacts their progress as well.

​
You are with your kids 24/7 and there is no one else who spends as much time coaching them through their anxiety and OCD struggles, than YOU.

​
And yet, many of us focus on what our child should do, and never focus on our part. The part we can actually control.

​
I have seen first hand the power of working on my own triggers and emotions. I have seen the impact on my kids when I’m intentional and focused when I respond to their anxiety or OCD.

​
I have seen my kids take more ownership of their issues because I’m not showing up with rage or anxiety. I have seen them feel more confident and hopeful, because I’m not bombarding them with what they should be doing.

​
I have worked hard on recognizing my own emotional state, grounding myself and then focusing on what they need from me in that moment. It is a daily practice, but the overall calm in my house has been significant.

​
I’m so passionate about how this approach can impact the wellbeing of the whole family, I wanted to share it with you!

​
That’s why I created my FREE series to teach you exactly how to do this for yourself and your family.
