Building Resiliency in Anxious Children with Mary Wilde
Description
On today’s episode of the Gentle Parenting Show, Kim is joined by Dr. Mary Wilde. Mary is an integrative pediatrician and owner of Imagine Pediatrics Behavioral Health and Wellness. She uses a strength-based, whole-child approach to address emotional and behavioral issues in kids. Her main focus areas are anxiety, ADHD, and parenting. Today, Kim and Mary discuss:
- What Is Resiliency?
- Common Signs of Anxiety
- Strategies for Resiliency
- The Foundations of Anxiety and Resiliency
Our favorite quotes from the episode are “we think of resiliency as something you or your children have or don’t have when really it’s something that can be learned and it’s something that’s not fixed in certain situations.” and “it’s not about erasing anxiety from your life, it’s about knowing when anxiety comes, you will be ready.”
Mary’s Resiliency School
Mary offers a few resiliency coaching programs for both children and adults. She has intensive programs that are in-depth with personal coaching and more self-paced programs. She points out that as parents, we invest a lot in the best camps, teachers, and programs for our kids. But, if kids don’t even have emotional intelligence, they can’t reach their full potential with these things. Investing in something like resiliency will pay off in leaps and bounds for your children.
Mary also has a FREE quarterly workshop called “Parenting Anxious Kids” that you can sign up for HERE. See all of her course information on her website, Instagram or Facebook.
