Wisdom's Wishes, How to Turn Anxiety into a Gift That Will Connect Your Family - E-book - ePub

Fed up with professionals droning on about anxiety from a scientific perspective and thus failing to prioritise action-based, family focused responses to the challenges that anxiety provokes? Sinead Flanagan, mum to three children, one of which struggled with anxiety, and Relax Kids coach set about creatively meeting her own child's needs. Published just in time for World Happiness Day, this 85 page books point of power is that it puts the family in the driving seat to choose what tools, techniques and activities they want in any given moment.
Guided by the Relax Kids Seven Steps programme, which is a framework for positive mental health, Sinead started to support her own child through her anxiety. "Anxiety impacts the whole family unit, not just the child. It makes total sense therefore that the whole family be involved in the solution". When you have an anxious child, it can be devastating not just for you but for the entire family. That is why I built in action-orientated skills and tools and real-life examples throughout the book to show other parents like myself how to build positive, loving connections with their children, which is empowering for all family members.
Happiness is a choice not a destination and this book empowers the family to choose happiness. My intention when writing this book was to provide a warm non judgmental loving hug to any parent out there Dr. googling at unholy O'clock out of sheer desperation. Its totally possible to learn to manage this together and grow closer as a result of that effort. If I can do it, so can you.
