Are You Worrying Or Parenting?

Do you sometimes feel an overwhelming urgency to protect and defend your teen or tween safe from danger and life.
You give so much of yourself to caring for your kid that you sometimes forget about yourself
You sometimes doubt your parenting choices, thinking you're doing too much or too little or "getting it wrong."

Stress and worry will always be part of being a parent; our kids are our most precious bundles of joy, and it's natural to care for them and want to provide the best for them. But for some parents, that natural concern elevates to constant levels of worry, anger and anxiety, and that can end up doing more harm than good.

Parenting is hard enough already, our goal of our parenting classes is to ease the burden of excessive worrying and anxiety.

WHAT IS ANXIOUS PARENTING?

Being a parent comes with a natural amount of stress and pressure; sometimes, our fears go overboard. Have you noticed you're overly concerned about raising successful, happy kids? Are you preoccupied with their success or worried about their future to an elevated level?

Depending on where your anxious thinking takes you, we imagine it could put you in the same group as the Tiger Parents, or perhaps the Snowplow Parents, and, of course, the Helicopter Parent. Whatever your parenting style is, and whatever label you put on it, (and you can find out for sure by raking our parenting style quiz here), you might agree that there's some anxiety in the mix.

This might not come as a surprise, but constant anxiety is not healthy for you, your child, or your family.

The Impact Of Anxious Parenting

If there's one thing you can do to ensure your child grows up into happy, healthy, well-adjusted & successful adults, it's to manage your own anxiety. Decades of research confirm the negative impact of parental anxiety on child development. It's vital for parents to understand their anxiety and to calm it.

Anxious or over-parenting can often have quite a negative impact psychologically on teens, children and young people which will often lead to them having a deficit in coping skills.

Academic Performance

Studies show that anxious parenting yields will not guarantee academic success for their children. Excessive parental interference is often linked with creating high pressure, entitlement attitudes, and maladaptive perfectionism in students.

Decision-Making Difficulties

When anxious parents solve problems for their children, the children ages 3 and up may not develop the necessary essential skills to navigate challenges on their own in their own daily lives.

Lack of Autonomy & Self-Efficacy

Parental anxiety can undermine the child's belief in their abilities, reducing their confidence in handling tasks and challenges independently.

Anxiety & Depression

The growing incidence of various anxiety disorders like social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and disorders related to separation and attachment among young adults is a growing concern, particularly in cases where parents are excessively involved.

How To Stop Being a Helicopter Parent?

Grounded Parenting is one of our best-selling Family Systems oriented online parenting classes that deals with lowering the parental anxiety that is behind 'Helicopter Parenting', 'Tiger Parenting' 'Jellyfish Parenting.

But really, it's about more positive parenting strategies from a more grounded position and is suitable for any parent with kids of all ages, caregivers, community educators, or mental health professionals interested in Family Systems Theory.

The opposite of a helicopter parent is NOT an uninvolved parent that doesn't care - it's not a 'bad parent' either. It's responsible parenting that has a balanced approach to caring and controlling.

Grounded Parenting: An Alternative to Helicopter Parenting – is one of online parenting classes that compiles all my teachings, tools, and strategies to shift from overprotective parenting to a more balanced approach. I share a decade's worth of working with parents through a family systems perspective, keeping it focused on healthy positive relationships.

In-Depth Course Overview:

Unlocking the Secrets of Grounded Parenting

CLASS #1

In order to combat anxiety, you have to know where it comes from. As a Family Systems therapist, I help clients and parents understand Chronic Anxiety as a function of their levels of differentiation.

Understanding The S.O.F.T Modality is a game changer for anxiety and any relationship.

CLASS #2

Fear-Based anxiety is at the core of the matter when it comes to over-parenting moms and dads.

In this class, I explain how to contain your anxiety and keep it FIXED inside. That way, we don't act on it by rushing in and fixing things, and we give that much-needed space for psychological autonomy.

CLASS #3

Developmental psychology teaches us that psychological autonomy is the essential difference in anxious parents and other parents. We explore the three areas of Autonomy you need to know about for raising children who are happy and independent.

Being in a relationship with our child
Emotional Regulation
Increased Responsibility

CLASS #4

Our boundaries help us in so many ways; they keep our feelings from gushing out, distinguish us from Others, and contain our anxiety. Balanced boundaries are the most healthy boundary we can have and in this class we look at what boundaries are most appropriate for different ages of children.

CLASS #5

Organizations require structure for success, with clear leaders who distribute tasks and communicate well. Similarly, a family needs a structure and your parenting style heavily influences that. We discuss three parenting styles and how they can influence your family, children and your stress levels.
