Mindfulness with Claudio Barrientos
To make the most of our time with our kids (and in life!), we need to focus on presence over the busyness and rushing and chaos that can take us out of the moment.

Anxiety is common among ADHDers. However, they can mimic, overshadow, or mask each other. Therefore, it is important to differentiate the two and understand what’s what to treat most effectively.
In today’s episode, I talk all about sensory processing, sensory over- and under-responsivity, the relationship between anxiety and sensory sensitivities, and how we can best support our anxious children and teens.
Social media because plays a huge role in social anxiety and can influence our emotions and lead to emotional contagion.
Perfectionism has steadily increased over the years, with our younger generations establishing increasingly more extreme standards for themselves, which can be crippling.
School refusal is a psychiatric crisis and when these students do not get the support they need, they are vulnerable to a whole host of social, emotional, psychological, and health risks.
While it can be hard for children and teachers to see children in distress, we don’t want to fall into the common traps that make anxiety stronger, like allowing children to avoid the things they’re afraid of and reassuring them that everything will be fine.
We all want to help kiddos reach their full potential. However, when we put them under too much pressure, there can be serious consequences for kids.
Fear of going using the public bathroom is common, but not talked about, which is why it’s important to open the conversation. Unfortunately, so many of kiddos “hold” all day, which can lead to long-term health problems.
With the holidays upon us, I wanted to do an episode on how to make the most of them. While I started to go through the things to destress, I realized that, truly, the one and most important thing to focus on is presence over presents.
