Get to know one of our highly specialized anxiety and OCD therapists, Kim Cox! Kim is Straight Up's Clinical Director of Training and one of our child therapy specialists, with over a decade of experience. If you want to learn more about Kim or are interested in scheduling a call with her, check out our website https://lnkd.in/gh9t5C_6 for more information. I know the power that anxiety and discomfort can have over the way we live our lives both personally and through my work with kids, teens, parents and adults. The reality is that unhelpful anxiety and depressive narratives don’t usually start when we are adults. Oftentimes, I am sitting across the room from someone who has been attempting to deal with the issue for long enough, to no avail, that it has gotten them to a place of readiness to do something different to address it. Whether you are a child, teen or adult, anything that gets in the way of you living the life you want to live, impacts the way you see yourself, others and the world abound. #parentsofanxiouschildren #parentofchildwithocd #ocdteen #anxiousteens #childtherapy #relationshiphelp #familydynamics #navigatingfamily #therapy #latherapy #losangelestherapists #losangelestherapy

Children are perceptive, and they feel the effects of change. Here are some ways to help your child navigate difficult times. Use validation. First, reflect their feeling to them and validate their emotion. “You look sad” or “It feels upsetting when you fight with your brother.” These are excellent ways to encourage communication and let them know you are there. Check-in three times per day. This short time to connect can help create a stronger bond with your child and will teach them how to slow down their day and connect to themselves. Model behavior. Take care of your own needs and demonstrate healthy habits to your kids. Routines. Routines create predictability- which makes an environment feel safe for a child. If you’ve tried all of the above suggestions to help your child who is struggling and they aren’t showing improvement, it may be time for therapy.

Case vignette: X, a 7-year-old girl, has an alcoholic father. Despite his unpredictable behavior and occasional verbal abuse, X continues to seek his attention and approval. She waits eagerly for his return home each day, even though his presence often brings tension and fear to the household. This seemingly paradoxical behavior exemplifies the child’s preference for a painful attachment over the perceived threat of abandonment. This phenomenon explains the resilience of bonds formed with abusive or neglectful caregivers. X, faced with the choice between a painful connection and the void of abandonment, opts for the former. This choice, while seemingly irrational from an external perspective, is a testament to the power of attachment in shaping the internal object world. The persistence of such attachments into adulthood suggests the enduring nature of these early object relations. Adults who maintain relationships with harmful figures may be unconsciously reenacting childhood patterns, seeking to resolve unresolved conflicts or fill the void left by inadequate early attachments. In X’s case, this early pattern might manifest in future relationships where she tolerates mistreatment, unconsciously replicating the familiar dynamic of her childhood. This understanding has significant implications for therapeutic practice, highlighting the need for empathy and patience when working with individuals trapped in destructive relational patterns. The therapist must recognize that these attachments, however maladaptive, serve a vital psychological function and cannot be simply severed without addressing the underlying fear of annihilation.

Tips for Healthy Screen Time Boundaries Tips for Managing Screen Time and Keeping Kids Safe 🕒📵 Recent studies show a significant increase in children's screen time, with nearly 25% showing signs of behavioural addiction. It's not just about development—excessive screen time can expose children to concepts far beyond their years, impacting their safety. Here are three tips to help ease screen time and create healthy boundaries: Set Clear Limits: Establish daily screen time limits and stick to them. Encourage Alternative Activities: Promote outdoor play, reading, and creative hobbies to balance screen time. Create Tech-Free Zones: Designate specific areas of the house, like the dining room and bedrooms, as tech-free zones. Understanding the impact of screen time is essential for your child's health and safety. For more insights, check out Sally Goddard Blythe's blog post: Children's Screen time. What every parent should know. https://lnkd.in/gR65MY_C #ScreenTime #ParentingTips #ChildSafety #HealthyBoundaries #developmentaldelaysgoldcoat #earlychildhoodintervention #parenteducation #carersupport #languagedevelopment #goldcoastmums
