- Children with an internal locus of control believe they can control their future. They have an ‘I can do it’ approach to problem solving.
- To instil a resilience mind set in your child requires coaching them in those micro moments when they experience anxiety along with your repeated confirmation that they ‘have got this’.
- The best clinical advice for children with mild anxiety, is to not accommodate this anxiety. Provide adjustments to support their problem solving instead.
- Children can be supported to return to calm through emotion coaching/ active listening.
