Even though we haven't had our "Meet and Greet" yet, it looks like people have mostly figured out the blog, so let's start discussing the first chapter! This week, read chapter one, and when you have finished, respond to the following prompt.
We would like participants to try to share at least one response and 1 reply to another person's response. Thanks!
Please describe your reaction to the concepts in the first chapter:
- Useful worry
- Controlling feelings
- Seeking certainty and comfort, immediately and continually
- Anxious behaviors in children
(Next weekend we will ask you to reflect on your progress in the action plan at the end of the chapter.)

ReplyDeleteI think it's totally normal to feel a bit overwhelmed at the beginning. You are already noticing some things you may not have before, which is great! Stay with us, you will learn practical applications throughout the chapters. Good work!
DeleteThese are excellent insights, I agree I hadn't seen it that way either, before reading the book. I find that this book points out how the things we do intentionally trying to help our kids with worry, are exactly the opposite of what works! That's why you can really make progress using the skills - because they are generally opposite of our natural tendency, so changing habits makes a difference. Good stuff!
