Children on the ADD/Autism spectrum may experience anxiousness ~ natural therapy may help.

Anxiety is a feeling experienced in the body.  It is strong, and can be overwhelming.  Like all feelings it is connected to the person’s needs and can be a chance to heal, grow and find a new understanding.  At this time your child needs support and soothing as well as calm and centered parenting.  While supporting a child with anxiety it helps to put aside any fears or concerns of your own, and just be with them. 

Here are five things you can do to support your child:

1. Be calm and centered and teach your child how to do this for themselves.  Practice and learn techniques you can both use when anxiety is being experienced and at other times.  This is a lifelong skill which will develop healthy constructive habits for times of stress.  It will also support you!  Œ
2. Find support for you ~ this is really important as you may find yourself being anxious about your child’s anxiety.
3. Learn more about feelings and needs.  Being able to empathise and be present with your child during their anxiety without moving to fix or stop their experience rather to simply and effectively support them with love can be very significant in releasing the effect the anxiety is having on you and them.  Ž
4. Healing past trauma and releasing its effects through specialist assistance can be necessary.  Karin offers gentle, non-invasive and effective healing support for parents and children.
5. Try Therapeutic grade essential oils can play an important role to help you and your child to move beyond the emotional barrier formed by anxiety.

Most of all be kind to yourself and your child during this time
Warmly
