Dealing with extreme picky eating can be a lonely journey. Barely anyone gets it. People will tell you all sorts of things. Some to lift you up and some to tear you down, but neither wind up being helpful.

 

He won’t starve to death

You should force him to eat (as if it was just that easy!)

If he was my child… (that’s never a good sentence)

Aren’t all kids kind of picky?

You let her eat just that?!

 

Ugh. I could go on and on. But it brings back too many bad memories.

 

Kids have extreme picky eating for a variety of reasons. They can have sensory issues, fears of choking, mechanical and structural issues, intrusive thoughts around food… the list can go on and on.

 

But often, we all have one common goal between us. We want our kids to eat. We want our kids to be healthy.

 

This week on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I have invited my friend and go-to picky eating expert, Alisha Grogan, Pediatric OT,  to talk to us about the difference between typical picky eating and extreme picky eating.

 

She also has a free workshop series out this week that runs from 9/17/19 to 9/24/19 called The 2-Step Process for Moving Your Child from Picky Eater to Healthy Child. Click here to enroll now before it goes away. She is awesome: www.bit.ly/pickyeatingworkshop19

 

She offered some really good insight into picky eating in this episode!

Hands down the number one fear I deal with as a child therapist is the fear of bad guys. It isn’t surprising. I remember being a child myself, sitting in my bed, blanket up to my neck, wondering not if, but when would I be attacked.

 

The fear is often dealt with platitudes like:

 

I’m right here

Who is going to hurt you

Nothing has ever happened to you

Why do you worry so much

 

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I explore why those platitudes aren’t helpful and what to do and say instead.

If the brain can imagine it, nightmares can create it. That can be hard for a child whose brain is constantly coming up with the worst-case scenarios for every situation. And when a child with nightmares, especially an anxious child, has them often – they can start to fear sleep altogether.

 

So how do you help your child with nightmares? Well, we can’t control whether they have them or not, but we can stack the deck in their favor. We can also teach them what to do afterwards, so they can get themselves back to sleep more easily.

 

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, I go into concrete tools you can use to ease your child into a relaxing sleep. I also go into how to teach kids to calm themselves and reset their brain, after a bad dream.

You are done. You can’t take it anymore. When will things get better? How long is this going to last? Will things ever change? Raising a child with anxiety or OCD can be beyond exhausting.

 

You are not alone.

 

Many of us have been there. We know what it is like to want to hit the escape button. We know what it is like to go to bed ridden with your own feelings of anxiety and hopelessness. All the What If’s and catastrophic thinking are hard to shut off.

 

There is hope.

 

When all the light is gone and all you see is darkness, it can be hard to feel hopeful. This week on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I am shining a light into your darkness, to let you know…

 

It will be okay.

We all do many things without a conscious thought. Our heart beats. Our food is digested. Our breath goes in and then goes out. Our eyes lids go up and then they go down. Our bladder constantly fills. But what happens when your attention constantly goes to these automatic behaviors? Welcome to the torturous world of Sensorimotor OCD.

 

OCD isn’t often understood by most, but Sensorimotor OCD is even less understood.

 

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I am helping parents navigate the confusing world of Sensorimotor OCD. We talk about what it is and what to do about it.

 “We don’t see it, he’s great for us.”

“Nope, we don’t have any issues with her.”

“Anxiety? Are you sure?”

“OCD? I never see him wash his hands.” (eye roll to that one)

“He is a perfect angel when he is with me.”

 

Ugh. These types of comments can make you doubt all that you know and see.

 

Is it me?

Am I causing her anxiety?

Am I causing this behavior?

Do I make his OCD worse?

 

You are not alone. Parents everywhere are having these thoughts. They toss and turn before they go to sleep. They have pangs of doubt, guilt and anger when their child turns into a puddle for them and holds it together for everyone else.

 

So what is going on?

 

Well let’s put the parental guilt and shame down for a minute and look at some alternative perspectives.

 

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, I talk about why many of our kids with anxiety or OCD have the hardest time when they are us. And why it often has nothing to do with the parenting.

Jul 30, 2019

Do you suffer from some parental anxiety? Have you gotten more anxious as you’ve gotten older? Do you attribute it to the chaos and stress you experience raising kids with anxiety or OCD? Well, you might be missing one key culprit…hormones!

As women we start to have hormonal changes as early as our mid-thirties. And with those changes can come, fatigue, weight gain, irritability and….you guessed it, anxiety.

This topic is not in my wheelhouse, so I invited Hilary Rank, a Health and Wellness Coach and the creator of the Balance Effect Method, to break it down for us. She talks about how these hormonal shifts work and what we can do to reduce the symptoms that come with it.

Hilary Rank is a Health & Wellness Coach for women over 40 and creator of the Balanced Effect Method. She helps women get out of the “Frustrated and Frumpy Over 40 Trap” which leaves them feeling confused about what diet or program to follow, down on themselves, starving and hopeless to Fit & Fabulous so they will start looking, thinking and feeling happy, healthy and sexy.

You can sign up for her free Balanced Effect Training right here: http://bit.ly/balancedeffectmethod

The kids are huddled in the corner of the room. It is dark. It is quiet. They are told not to talk. They are told to hide behind objects and lock the classroom door. Some kids are shaking. Some kids have wide eyes. This is not an emergency situation. These are lockdown drills.

 

This can be very unnerving for any child, but for anxious children this has the potential to cause ongoing fear and panic.

 

So what should parents do? Many of us avoid the topic unless our kids bring it up. But with at least 32 states requiring monthly lockdown drills, many of our kids are exposed to these drills over 10 times a school year.

 

These are important drills (sadly), but how do we minimize the ongoing trauma these drills can evoke?

 

I brought in just the person to answer these questions. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, I talk to Nancy Kislin, a psychotherapist and author of Lock Down: Talking to Your Kids About School Violence.

 

She brought so much insight to this topic and offered some solid, concrete steps anyone can take to help their children.

 

To learn more about Nancy's work go to Lockdownbook.com

We all see anxiety differently. We bring our own baggage, or own history and our own issues along for the ride. Often moms and dads see anxiety differently. Sometimes it can be the source of disagreements and hurt feelings. And sometimes it can open our eyes to a new way of looking at things.

 

This week I invited Jason from Dad University to have a chat on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast and talk to me about anxiety from a father’s perspective. We talked about his own struggles with anxiety growing up and how that impacted his own parenting.

Check out Dad University at www.daduniversity.com

Bumpy socks, lumpy food, loud noises, large crowds, startling automatic toilet flushers… these are just a few things that can completely overwhelm some of our anxious kids. But don’t make the mistake of putting them in the same category with all your child’s other anxiety issues.

Sensory related anxiety is different. And… it should be treated differently as well.

Anxious kids tend to have more sensory issues. That’s really not surprising. The two issues tend to hang out together like long lost cousins.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode I talk about how even though anxiety and sensory issue are two peas in a pod – we shouldn’t make the mistake of treating them the same.

Just this week (7/8/19) you can grab the Super Sensory Bundle. It is $1300 worth of products/resources from sensory experts for only $39.

You are learning how to be a parent from a very young age, even from toddlerhood. Seriously! Everything you see, every interaction you have, will impact how you parent your own children. This can be inspiring or daunting depending on what type of childhood you had. But regardless of whether it was good, bad or in between you get to decide how your childhood influences your parenting. This is especially true when you parent an anxious child.

 

What triggers your own issues, your own memories?

 

The first step is awareness. Awareness of what is driving your parenting and awareness what is stirring underneath. The more you understand, the more you can parent with purpose.

When we ask our kids to face their fears, it can be like asking them to jump off a cliff. Swim with sharks. Jump out of an airplane. All of which I know I would never want to do. That is why offering good incentives is key when trying to get kids to work on anxiety or OCD.

 

I’ve been asked often, what are good incentives? How do you use incentives? And will they just do it for the carrot in front of them!

 

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, we are talking all about how to use prizes, rewards, incentives and motivators.

They dig their heels in. They refuse to go. They refuse to eat. They refuse to move. Oppositional behavior in a child with OCD or anxiety can be all consuming.

 

So, what are you supposed to do?

 

Well for starters, treating it as typical oppositional behavior won’t work. Either will typical parenting approaches.

 

When a child with OCD or anxiety is being difficult, their opposition is vastly different than the typical oppositional kid.

 

In this week’s podcast episode, I dive into the oppositional behavior so many of us are dealing with when it comes to parenting kids with OCD or anxiety.

Anxiety or OCD can make you feel like you house has been hijacked. It can make you feel like your home is not your own. Having a child with anxiety or OCD can often mean, having a controlling child.

Kids with anxiety or OCD can be controlling for many reasons. In this week’s podcast episode, I go over the reasons why a child feels the need to exert control, and what to do about it.

People will try to treat OCD with many different approaches. Treatment of OCD can include the use of talk therapy, play therapy, biofeedback or EMDR. But the truth of the matter is, OCD will not improve significantly without ERP, Exposure Response Prevention.

So what is ERP and how does it work? I invited Dr. Martin Hsia, the Clinical Director at the Cognitive Behavior Therapy Center of Southern California, to sit down with me to have a chat all about ERP in kids.

Have you ever wondered what your child with OCD is going through? What their life is like growing up with OCD?

 

I had the pleasure of talking to John Tessitore, the founder of the JCK Foundation. He was willing to get raw with me and share some personal details of what life was like growing up with thoughts he hid from the outside world.

 

He paints a picture of what it can feel like to think you are all alone and how he found hope and inspiration when his brother’s friend took him under his wing and shared that he, as well, had OCD.

 

John has made it his mission to let others like him know that they are not alone. He created the JCK Foundation to spread knowledge and offer support to people with mental illness. The JCK Foundation offers programs that go into high schools and colleges to speak to students about mental illness and to offer them support and hope.

 

If you know of a school that would benefit from JCK Foundation’s program click here. To support the Foundation and enable them to get the word of hope out to more students click here to donate: www.jckfoundation.org

Selective Mutism can hide behind labels like “shy” and often gets missed by parents, educators and even therapists.

I had the pleasure of talking to Patsy Butterworth, a State Coordinator for Selective Mutism.org and a mom to a child with Selective Mutism.

Patsy has been a huge advocate for her son through his journey. She now supports other parents, connecting them to resources and spreading knowledge about Selective Mutism. 

In my interview with Patsy, she helps us understand what Selective Mutism is and what it is not. She also talks about how to advocate for your child, get a proper diagnosis and how parents can help their child with Selective Mutism.

To listen to our interview click below:

Here's a link to the Child Mind Institute's selective mustim page

Here's a video from Dr. Annie Simpson.  She condensed a lot of information and practical tools into a one hour video.  It's my favorite one to share with teachers and providers.

She suffered silently. She suffered often. Her parents didn’t understand her pain. She didn’t understand her pain. So it often goes. Growing up with separation anxiety and Panic Disorder can be a disorienting, overwhelming and lonely experience.

Amanda Stern, the author of Little Panic, shares not only her story, but the story of so many anxious children growing up in a world that swallows them up whole.

I had the privilege of chatting with Amanda about her life growing up with separation anxiety and panic. She offered her insight into how parents can help their anxious kids, and pitfalls should be avoided.

Every parent raising an anxious child should read her story and learn what anxiety feels like, from the inside out.

Hearing your child confess thoughts that do not make sense can be heartbreaking. Moral OCD is one of the most confusing OCD themes a parent, and for that matter, a child, can experience. Kids with Moral OCD are bombarded with thoughts. What if I am a bad person? What if I did something bad? What if I do something bad?

 

They can come at you with a barrage of questions that seem to never end.

 

Do you think it is bad if I…

I had this thought that…

What if I…

 

The need for reassurance and confessing is never ending.

 

In this week’s podcast episode I am going to dive into the counterintuitive approach that helps kids with Moral OCD.

No one signs up for struggles. We all have our vision of what parenting will be. It usually does not involve a child with panic, fear and dread. It can be hard to pivot and alter your parental course. It can also be a challenge to pivot with a partner. Raising anxious kids is often counterintuitive. Many parents find they are not on the same page. Anxiety is rough on kids, but it can also be rough on marriages.

 

I invited Larry Hagner from The Dad Edge Podcast to offer a perspective I don’t often talk about. The perspective of dads. What is it like to be a father raising a child with struggles? How can partners align without pointing fingers and being hurtful?

 

Larry offers his insightful, humble perspective. He not only teaches us how to become better parents, he teaches us how to become better human beings. I thoroughly enjoyed my talk with him, and I know you will too.

I didn’t know the level of my anxiety until I brought little people into my world. It seemed like my anxiety just couldn’t hide under the weight of parental stress. That happens to many of us. We strive to become a better parent and we begin to realize that it is actually our own anxiety that is holding us back.

 

In this week’s podcast episode I talk about how tackling our own anxiety, not only helps us – but it can help our kids as well.

I love my empathetic, kindhearted and intuitive little girl. She is the sparkle in everyone’s life. That is until my pretty flower wilts at the slightest tone, stare or comment that has a hint of meanness behind it. My sensitive child crumbles when the world is mean around her. Let’s not even talk about when the rudeness is directed at her.

 

Many of us are raising a sensitive child. A sensitive child comes with many wonderful gifts. Gifts I wouldn’t change for the world. But they also come in a fragile package.

 

This week on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I am talking about how to take our fragile flowers and firm up their stem.

“He just won’t talk to me!” I often hear. Or “I try to ask her questions, but she just gives me one-word responses.” So how do you get your kids to talk to you?

 

Often, we inadvertently shutdown communication with our kids without even knowing it.

 

One of the perks of being a child therapist is I get an inside view of what is going on. Many times, kids will tell me they want to open up to their parents, but they don’t like the reactions they get.

 

So, what are these reactions – and how can we stop giving them?

 

In this week’s podcast I highlight some of the reactions we often give our kids and talk about why it shuts down communication. I also talk about what to do instead.

 

So, if you have wanted your kids to talk to you, but you don’t know where to start – this episode is for you!
