We Need To Support School Bans On Phones (Even If Your Anxiety Won’t)

“He is so moody!” says almost every parent as their child moves through the tween and teen years. Managing one’s moods is a key skill for young people to learn, and (as usual) modeling matters. How do we help our kids navigate their emotional ups and downs, with better modeling, less pathologizing and a good dose of reasonable expectations?

Managing the Moody People In Your Family (Even If It Is You)

When we reunite with our kids at the end of the day, we’re often full of questions and curiosity. How was your day? Did you like your lunch? How’d that geometry test go? But genuine interest can sometimes turn into unsatisfying inquisitions. And if we add anxiety’s need for certainty, reassurance and LOTS of detail, the interaction goes south quickly. How can you get information, bolster connection, and keep those worrier impulses at bay?

The Best Way to Ask Your Kids "How Was Your Day?"

Helping an anxious student requires a strong collaboration between families and schools, but so often meetings to create a plan become adversarial. In this episode, Lynn (who routinely attends such meetings) offers her key tips for how parents and schools can work together to support a child and teach the needed skills, minus the conflict and blaming.

We also answer a question from a shy mom entering a new school environment. She’s socially anxious but wants to do the best for her kids. What can she do to connect?

Best of: Developing Your Kid’s Flexibility From Toddlers to Teens

In Season 4, we offered a three-episode series in which we unpacked Lynn's big triad: Autonomy, Flexibility, and Problem Solving. These essential skills help prevent mental health issues from developing, and, of course, Lynn will tell you how to nurture them in your children. We tackle autonomy in this episode and the important question every parent should ask: "How controlling am I with my kids?"

Best of: Developing Your Kid’s Autonomy: How Controlling Are You?

Parenting isn't easy, and it's normal to worry. Lynn Lyons, therapist, author, and speaker is one of the world's experts on helping parents, kids, and teens manage anxiety. She talks with co-host and sister-in-law Robin Hutson in a weekly podcast full of laughs, and practical advice without the psychobabble. At the beginning of the pandemic, Lynn and Robin started the Flusterclux podcast when their parenting retreats went on hiatus, and they're now 2 years in, talking about anxiety and worry, their love for Mr. Rogers, and the crazy things the mental health field gets WRONG about anxiety.

Anxiety Expert Lynn Lyons has been a therapist for over 30 years. She's an author of 3 books with a new one coming out in October and has traveled around the US and Canada training hundreds of audiences teachers, school nurses, counselors and parents about managing anxiety.

Flusterclux represents that feeling of overwhelm. Each episode is filled with practical advice for parents how to better manage their worry and big feelings like anger and sadness so that they are modeling healthy emotional awareness.

Lynn answers listener questions and gives parents concrete strategies for developing the traits that are their kids' best defenses against anxiety and depression later in life: flexibility, resilience, autonomy, and problem solving. New episodes every Friday at 5AM EST.
