Since this is such a stressful time of year for a lot of kids with the start of a new school year, we wanted to focus again on how to manage worry and anxiety.
New environments, assignments, teachers, students etc. – the list goes on! A lot of “unknowns” can cause kids to think about the “what if instead of thinking about what is”.
Check out this video – with a catchy rap and a mindfulness technique to help calm nerves included! Watch and show your kids!
As parents we can’t always shield our youngsters from life’s worrisome moments, but we can offer helpful tips to help them manage worry and anxiety.
Be Wise!
“Supporting the mental health of the kids and teens in our community is one of the most challenging and also one of the most important jobs anyone could have. And I see your team doing it with both skill and enthusiasm.Our family could not be more fortunate to have found your practice 3 years ago.
Our kids are growing up but we still keep your number on our phone and we know we can reach out to your team if we need it. We tell everyone who asks about the WISE people at The Wise Family.
Thank you for doing what you do for so many people.”—from the parent of two former clients (siblings)

— 8-year-old coaching client“I don’t think we could survive our kid without The Wise Family. Our clinician is so patient and such a compassionate person. She helps our child feel so in control of his body, and us so in control of our parenting.”
