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.

ADHD and anxiety

What is the link between ADHD & Anxiety?

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.

perfectionism

How do we manage perfectionism?

Perfectionism has steadily increased over the years, with our younger generations establishing increasingly more extreme standards for themselves, which can be crippling.

school refusal

How do we deal with School Refusal?

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.

separation anxiety

How do we deal with separation anxiety?

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.

How do we help kids who are afraid to pee in public?

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.

Anxiety, Isolation, & Self-Esteem

Today Hilary and I discuss anxiety and one of the biggest impacts of COVID and anxiety: isolation and low self-esteem. We also talk about how to address these and what parents can do to help their children.
