We’ll also explore what it means to be responsible for our own emotions and increase our own self awareness and help our kids learn these skills.

Overcoming childhood anxiety
One in five children has a diagnosable mental disorder; one in eight experiences clinical levels of anxiety. Amidst these extremes, every family will deal with some level of childhood anxiety, whether it’s back to school nerves, everyday school pressures, or worries about changes at home.
In her book Generation Stressed: Play-Based Tools to Help Your Child Overcome Anxiety, Michelle Kambolis uses an original, new combination of theory and practical, play-based activity to help this ‘generation stressed.’ which translates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy into fun, playtime exercises that can be practiced by parents with their children.
