The first time I'd read this quote 👇, it had hit me in the gut like a ton of bricks!

When our kids act out, it can be quite frustrating, particularly if they are stuck in annoying patterns of attention-seeking behaviors. It's hard to remember in those times that they aren't doing it just to "get to us"!

What can we do then to gently ease our kids out of these behaviors?

Jennifer Poindexter, a mom from our community, who has walked through this trial and has mostly broken out of the pattern has the solution for us. Sensible, practical and of course gentle, it provides a perfect plan of action for us to try. Check it out -

"Coping Skills for Kids" Live Coaching Call with Janine Halloran

This Thursday (Dec 7th) at 1pm ET / 12pm CT / 10am PT, we are hosting a LIVE coaching call, and Q&A, with anxiety expert Janine Halloran.

• Do you worry about how your kids will handle the disruption in schedule during the holidays?
  
  
• Are you concerned about their behavior when your house is full of guests?
  
  
• Do you have any travel plans and anxiety related to it, and need some coping strategies (for yourself or you kids!)?
  
  
• Or, maybe you just want to talk about regular everyday stuff?
  
  
• Whatever the case, if you need ideas for teaching your kids new coping skills, or help them break out of maladaptive coping strategies, this call is for you!?
  

Janine is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has been working with children, adolescents and their families for over 15 years. She has authored two popular books with games and activities to help kids cope with stress, anxiety and anger in healthy ways.
