On Wednesday, October 25th, I taught the “How to Relieve Tween’s Stress and Anxiety Confidently and Create Calm” class. I included a new interactive activity on Zoom where folks could annotate on the slide with a circle, underline, check, etc. to show their choices. Many parents passionately underlined and pointed to “not doing chores” as one of the big areas of stress in the family.
Here are some comments about the class in the chat:
- “That was fun!” (In response to “writing” on the slide.)
- “Thank you for this content so far.”
- “I’m loving this session. I wish my husband could be on this.”
- “Thank you. Great class.”
- “Thank you, Cynthia.”
- “Thank you, Cynthia, wonderful Zoom today.”
I’d like to give you the basic highlights and then show you where you can actually practice these new skills to help your child relieve tween’s stress and anxiety, release stress and anxiety, and become calm.
Why Learning to Relieve Tween’s Stress and Anxiety Matters
- When children are stressed, the limbic system shuts down, and they can’t think.
- Your BIG goal, therefore, is to respond in ways so your children can release their stress and reconnect to the rational mind.
- The three skill sets to learn in order to relieve stress are:
- Determine the goal of releasing stress
- Stop stress-creating language
- Respond with empathetic phrases
Let’s say you came to class or missed it. Either way, I imagine your kids get upset and stressed, and there are many times you don’t know what to do. You might even have your own stress levels raised.
What I really want to inspire you to do is take action to learn these steps and make changes in your relationship with your kids, tweens, and teens.
Parenting Resources to Relieve Tween’s Stress and Anxiety
I created Win, Win, Win Parenting so you can hear my wisdom of 30 years at any time, night or day, learn and be encouraged by me.
In these six 15-minute videos, along with the guide, you can learn how to encourage your child to safely release their big feelings that are causing them to be stuck. When they are stuck, they aren’t open to new ideas to solve their problems.
When their emotional brain is calmer, then you will have more cooperation, collaboration, and connection with them. This isn’t a mystery. I know the formula, and hundreds of parents have learned this system, and so can you.
My mission is to create world peace by starting at home. Imagine that just by watching 1 ½ hours of my engaging videos plus practice, you’ll know how to create a calmer and happier family.
