Parenting Help Katie Palmer and VigeoBx

Join us as we talk with Dr. Jill Saxon about how to recognize, understand,
and shift our accommodating behavior with our anxious children. We learn
more about the SPACE program to support parents in making changes in
thoughtful and intentional ways, as well as some examples of how
accommodating shows up in different settings.

In this episode we discuss development and outcomes of the new group program to improve children’s mental health. We cover how MAGPIES was developed  from evidence based techniques, and using the feedback of the participants and parents.This is a neuroaffirmative program for children to help them with emotional regulation, self—esteem, social skills, and anxiety.

John and Katie talk about a typical scenario where parents can get trapped in a power struggle with their teen - and several strategies for changing our behavior to better support what our kids need to learn!

Many of our guests have helped us to understand what anxiety is, how to take a compassionate perspective on challenging behavior in the presence of anxiety, and offered tools for emotional regulation (of ourselves as well as our children or clients). In this episode, we are going to add to our toolboxes - and talk about setting boundaries with children who are struggling to regulate.
Dr. Emma Waddington is a clinical psychologist working with families and children in Singapore. She takes us on an exploration of the many ways we can set boundaries for ourselves, our children, and our families - and still enrich our relationships with our children. She offers brave insight into her own journey as a parent as well as the experienced clinician’s lens on some of the reasons that boundaries are healthy for everyone.

Dr. Sarah Cassidy and Dr. Lisa Coyne join us to discuss their new book, Tired of Teen Anxiety. It is a step by step guide for teens on how to do the things that matter to them despite anxiety. We discuss their work with individuals and families who struggle with the impact of anxiety - and focus on how parents can help their children work through anxiety.

In this conversation, Dr. Stapleton helps us explore how rules can be workable in our lives, moving us toward the things that matter - and how we can determine if a rule is not functioning well for us in a particular context.
